/**
* $Id$
*
* Created: [Apr 6, 2004]
*
* Defines a UID iCalendar component property.
*
* <pre>
* 4.8.4.7 Unique Identifier
*
* Property Name: UID
*
* Purpose: This property defines the persistent, globally unique
* identifier for the calendar component.
*
* Value Type: TEXT
*
* Property Parameters: Non-standard property parameters can be
* specified on this property.
*
* Conformance: The property MUST be specified in the "VEVENT", "VTODO",
* "VJOURNAL" or "VFREEBUSY" calendar components.
*
* Description: The UID itself MUST be a globally unique identifier. The
* generator of the identifier MUST guarantee that the identifier is
* unique. There are several algorithms that can be used to accomplish
* this. The identifier is RECOMMENDED to be the identical syntax to the
* [RFC 822] addr-spec. A good method to assure uniqueness is to put the
* domain name or a domain literal IP address of the host on which the
* identifier was created on the right hand side of the "@", and on the
* left hand side, put a combination of the current calendar date and
* time of day (i.e., formatted in as a DATE-TIME value) along with some
* other currently unique (perhaps sequential) identifier available on
* the system (for example, a process id number). Using a date/time
* value on the left hand side and a domain name or domain literal on
* the right hand side makes it possible to guarantee uniqueness since
* no two hosts should be using the same domain name or IP address at
* the same time. Though other algorithms will work, it is RECOMMENDED
* that the right hand side contain some domain identifier (either of
* the host itself or otherwise) such that the generator of the message
* identifier can guarantee the uniqueness of the left hand side within
* the scope of that domain.
*
* This is the method for correlating scheduling messages with the
* referenced "VEVENT", "VTODO", or "VJOURNAL" calendar component.
*
* The full range of calendar components specified by a recurrence set
* is referenced by referring to just the "UID" property value
* corresponding to the calendar component. The "RECURRENCE-ID" property
* allows the reference to an individual instance within the recurrence
* set.
*
* This property is an important method for group scheduling
* applications to match requests with later replies, modifications or
* deletion requests. Calendaring and scheduling applications MUST
* generate this property in "VEVENT", "VTODO" and "VJOURNAL" calendar
* components to assure interoperability with other group scheduling
* applications. This identifier is created by the calendar system that
* generates an iCalendar object.
*
* Implementations MUST be able to receive and persist values of at
* least 255 characters for this property.
*
* Format Definition: The property is defined by the following notation:
*
* uid = "UID" uidparam ":" text CRLF
*
* uidparam = *(";" xparam)
*
* Example: The following is an example of this property:
*
* UID:19960401T080045Z-4000F192713-0052@host1.com
* </pre>
