   In some endpoint rewrites I'm looking at I handle it in the query parameter case as an ambiguous type, e.g. when a Delivery Service needs to be identified I first check the existence of an ID as passed (assuming the parameter is numeric) and failing that check for an XMLID.
   
   That, of course, doesn't work for path parameters, but then I'm against those, in general. Just wanted to leave that here as a suggestion for future work with ambiguously-typed identifiers in query parameters.
   
   Of course, that also still has the problem of a collision, where an object's name is numeric and happens to be exactly the ID of a different object of the same type. Still not sure how to handle that (although restricting numeric names would certainly work).
