I think I've seen the GUID method that you mention used in DBM, and while the advantages are clear, I felt that getting my version 1.00 up and running was a higher priority than making sure the add-on would work for users that may or may not exist. It's just a quick and dirty solution. Which is why I said it depends on what you're trying to do at the moment
