I see.

Still, it may be a good idea to use randomly generated numbers (or
a hash of a bunch of information that uniquely identifies the machine
that is acting as client/sub-database) *only* for the node ID; each
node, then, uses a sequential "transaction ID" to guarantee uniqueness
locally (that simplifies things a bit, I believe).
