This one is slightly more problematic, as the ids could be used several
times this way (the chance of colliding with a UUID is close to zero).
Besides, duplicating all the info - rsc id, attribute set, resource name
- in the ID is not really useful either ;-)

So, I'm not sure about this change. In particular, how do you propose
to handle ID collisions?
