The remaining identifiers are not merged because that code was written before they existed.

The MOBI output does not use the uuid as the uuid may not always exist. If you are planning to use the asin in the mobi header, I would urge against it as weird things are likely to happen if the MOBI file you use is different from the MOBI file associated with that ASIN on amazon's servers.
