Is my knee-jerk judgement that this advice borders on nonsense, unwarranted?
- dragonwriter 3y ago> Is my knee-jerk judgement that this advice borders on nonsense, unwarranted? No, the advice is nonsense. URIs in what scheme? I mean, since URN has a URI scheme and UUID is a URN namespace, so urn:uuid:<uuid-value> is a URI, “use a URI” is not really a mutual-exclusive alternative to using UUID, its just much less specific.
