Art,
Here is typical URL encoded string produced with EOTemporaryGlobalID.

P.S. Compared it with the much more civilized SessionID...

If I recall, NSProcessInfo could provide a globally unique string by
concatenating the host name, process ID, and a time stamp. In a
multithreaded WO app on a multiprocessor computer, it is theoretically
possible that more than one session could create identical strings
using this approach. EOTemporaryGlobalID uses 3 similar values plus a
sequence number that should ensure uniqueness, so this should be
better. But since it is comprised of similar values to those used by
NSProcessInfo, is it really uglier?
