In suggesting unique identifiers for each UBL <appinfo> element, I was thinking
beyond the code lists, and looking for a mechanism that could be used for all
of the UBL Schemas.  I don't see why only code lists would benefit from having
keys that end users could key off, so that they did not have to edit the
Schemas (which is something many are loathe to do).
