Re: ROID how useful?

We used the ROID in the post-create commands for the Defensive
Registration and NameWatch object mappings in DotName since there could be
multiple registrations for the same string.  There are cases where the
registration name is not a unique identifier and there are cases where the
name can be changed like with hosts.  A history command for objects that
support changing name strings can show all of the transactions for the
object based on the ROID.  To note, the launch phase extension defines an
application identifier separate from the ROID, since the allocation of an
application to a domain might or might not result in a different ROID.
