It can be catastrophic if one day we wish to handle such things such as shared annotations as we won't be able to rely on the identifier to identify a book (which is the whole purpose of an identifier).

And I'm saying that the standard is being idiotic. It's not possible to have a unique ID for every ebook file ever created. And any reader system that relies on this aspect of the standard is going to fall flat on its face.
