I like the design, but wish it had time-based UUIDs.

> - What is your evaluation of the implementation?

I had no problem reading the code.  But there's almost nothing in 
"uuid.ipp".  Could you merge it into "uuid.hpp" for simplicity?

> - What is your evaluation of the documentation?

I'd like to see the Rationale section come first, before you give the whole 
Class Synopsis. That would make it easier for casual readers to understand 
the purpose of the library before reading further.

A small example program near the beginning of the document would help too.

There is a spelling error in the Rationale section, s/indended/intended/.

It's a nice addition to Boost.

Yes, I tried running some test code and had no problems.

I vote Yes, to include the UUID library in Boost.
