Hello, 

Instead of
        bool is_null() const
and
        static guid const& null()
I would prefer
        bool is_nil() const
and
        static guid const& nil().

I'de like to see uuid v1 (node hardware address + time based).
Access to MAC:
- on HP/UX you could use DLPI interface (example:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?docname=c00904700&cc=
us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN)
- ::ioctl + SIOCGIFHWADDR on Linux 

Because my apps are bloated if I use some header-only libraries from
boost I'de like to see guid library not as header-only library - but
this was already discussed in this mailing list.

Regards, Oliver
