RMI UID's has nothing in common with UUID's so I fail to see how they
have any relevance here. I've never seen any other representation of the
UUID's that the two that Gevik wants to support. Please note that UUID
is a very well known concept and not an arbitrary 128 bit storage.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UUID is a good source of information. The
appointed RFC actually contains source code.
