Sounds like UUIDS or GUIDs would have been an even better identification scheme.
The algorithm used by ZClasses is very similar to that used in other GUID schemes. The algorithm uses a hash of location (ZClass URL) and time. I think that the probability of collisions is similar between the ZClass alogorithm and other schemes and the ZClass algorithm is alot simpler.
