Any clever ideas?

A while back I posted the XSLT 2.0 code necessary to create a UUID, close enough to the thoughts behind a UUID to be reasonably globally unique (but without the network interface number etc). The idea was to create an XSLT-only and portable solution. It's a simple function that however often you call it, even within one run, without using extension functions, always produces a unique string.

One place where it is archived currently: http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200703/msg00434.html, though as almost always, the layout/indentation is broken...
