RE: general/2906: Propose that Apache recommend $UNIQUE_ID for al l "session id" algorithms

["Dietz, Phil E." <pe...@west.com>]

Let me also propose to the Apache group that:
- mod_unique_id become a standard core module
- that at least the time value be 'decodable' (like Mr. Gaudet recommends.)

	State-Changed-Why:
	I'm marking this for future consideration, but I need to
	point out a couple of things:

	o mod_unique_id is an optional module, and may not always
	  be available in the running server
	o The UNIQUE_ID value is opaque -- meaning that it is not
	  intended to be 'decodable'
	o Inter-module callbacks are currently not supported for
	  various good reasons

	However, the idea is worthy of attention for a future
	version.  Thanks for submitting it, and for using Apache.
