I assume that “????????-????-????-????-?????????????” makes up a totally new
GUID.
I assume that “????????-1234-????-????-?????????????” makes
up all the GUID parts except for 1234.
I assume that “12345678-????-????-????-??????5??????” makes
up all the GUID parts except for 12345678 and 5.
If my assumptions are not correct then a "?" does not
follow the standard of a digit wildcard and thus * would make more sense to
me.
If my assumptions are correct then that is way too cool and
I would love to also have the * so it would be meaningful the day that the GUID
format changes. :)

Product/@Id should almost never be auto-generated because that forces major
upgrades every time. But why would * be better than
“????????-????-????-????-?????????????”? Thanks, Derek From: I have no opinion on
that. Anybody else care? From:
