Ah, so when it says "the method must derive the reference object from the
managed object’s values" it is talking about the managed object's persisted
values. So I could get rid of my extra attribute in my managed object class and
just set my UUID using a method similar to what you define below, and then just
persist that on all my objects.
It is possible that the file could be edited in the Windows version of the
application, or may be imported through an importer that doesn't add the IDs,
but I guess that wouldn't matter since I would set it the first time it was
asked for, and I would persist it after that.
