Ah yes, the original identifier was:

Where Soni's suggestion was:

I left off 'network' by accident in my followup as I was comparing the
two styles of identifier; UUID vs Domain.

If appending words to a UUID to make it have meaning is required then
I fail to see how that is any different than just using a domain style
identifier in the first place. At least the domain style identifier has
the extra bonus of carrying information about the module author.
