The text I am referring to in 4.2 is
envid-parameter = "ENVID=" unique-envid
unique-envid = local-envid "@" fqhn
local-envid = xtext
fqhn = xtext
...
In most cases, this means setting
fqhn to be the fully qualified host name of the system generat-
ing this ENVID
...
"In most cases" leaves the door open for it not being required. The
document never says what "fqhn" must be. By my reading of the document, an
ENVID of "123@6425ChristieAvenueSuite4000EmeryvilleCA94608USA" is perfectly
legal as long as I can guarantee it's uniqueness.
