And now I feel dumb... You're right of course, by passing in the object itself, there are no namespace conflicts, inter-project coordination is nil, and on top of it all, you can perform introspection of the annotizer object itself to find out more information about it.  UUIDs aren't required at all.  Right-o, with your permission Chris, I'd like to amend my proposal so that instead of using UUIDs, the annotizer object itself is used as the key.  Depending on what work is like this week, I'll modify my code to do this.
