It could be globally unique and still human-readable. It doesn't need to

I think one trouble with making it a description instead of a unique Id
is the same problem in
relational databases, where if you make a "key" field mean something,
then you get pummeled by
folks wanting you to either change it, or correct it, or ?...

If it means *nothing* to a human, then you skate free and clear.

OK, but make it something shorter. The CLSIDs are all the same looking,
and there are thousands of them.
