Then you are defining what that variable is:

<dc:identifier id="uid">4183454533</dc:identifier>

You can easily use the ISBN like this:
<package version="2.0" unique-identifier="BookID" xmlns="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf">
<dc:identifier id="BookID">ISBN [isbn # here]</dc:identifier>
Thanks so much Turtle91. I will try this tomorrow... I have read myself into a muddy brain.. I just found inadvertently that I should have the entry for dcublisher to be the top level publishing company, but this book is published by an imprint of mine under that, so I am supposed to add <imprint> in the metadata somehow. I tried 10x to do this, expecting it to look like this:

dcublisher Top Level Pub Co. Here
dc:imprint Imprint Publisher Here

... which it does look like that in the metadata window... but when I switch to opf file, I see it inserts it with a name tag and encloses it in meta brackets... instead of just listing dc:imprint under all the other dc:xxxx elements. So not sure I am getting that right either.

I know this is no-brainer stuff that takes one second to those familiar!

EDIT: Argh, even my posts are making fun of me, inserting smileys!
