We don't need GUIDs for every item. We only need them for folders. 
Creating GUIDs for folders will hardly result in a performance problem 
and changing the format of an id shouldn't require massive code changes 
either. Of course, it might require an upgrade mechanism.

The usage of GUIDs is the only sensible solution for external 
references.
