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. :)

Just a note: the Product/@Id should almost never be auto-generated because that forces major upgrades every time.  But why would * be better than “????????-????-????-????-?????????????”?

 

Thanks,

Derek

I have no opinion on that.  Anybody else care?

That is an excellent point – what if we keep the ???... syntax just for Product/@Id in that case and go with the recommendations below for everything else?

Any chance of a different syntax? @Id="*" maybe, keeping with the wildcard scheme?
