<font size="-1">After my post yesterday, Neil Thomson forwarded me this
paper he has prepared for the Biodiversity Heritage Library on their
need for GUIDs. His document ends by explaining how BHL identifiers
could end up looking "a bit like an LSID". Obviously I would recommend
that they should actually just be LSIDs, but Neil is interested in any
feedback on this paper and it clearly relates very much to all that we
discussed under the general heading of "Publication Bank".<br>

Thanks,<br>
