Features that extend AbstractBasicFeature use the FeatureUtil.nextID() 
to generate an ID which is unique across all layers.

I would not tie the uniqueness of an ID to a dataset (currently one 
dataset == one Layer), as in the future you may have query layers which 
bring in features from different data sets and this would mean that you 
may have an ID overlap.

I think we should probably make the following statement.

the FID is a JUMP workspace unique identifier for a feature used 
internally by JUMP. Features may also have a business unique ID that is 
specific to that type of feature (e.g database primary key).
