Comment 6 for bug 1333852

At Trove meeting today we decided to take a shot at this proposal.

1. add a uuid.
2. return uuid always (as a string).
3. if uuid converts to an integer, return it in the current id field.
4. if uuid won't convert, don't return id.

The consensus is that this *should* work but we would defer judgement till we actually tried it out.
