I was careful to say equivalent, not equal, since even when things don't have any kind of comparison operator, C++03 still has the requirement that a copy of an object (whether from copy-construction or assigned) must be equivalent to the original, so the concept is there. Anyways, did you have any comments on my view of UUIDs as resource handles?
