Something like that. There are also arguments against broker-assigned
identifiers, mainly if brokers restart and thousands of clients all
demand new identities at the same time, it can be painful. But if
clients are assumed to cache their identities, not a problem.

I'd recommend pushing whatever you have as text to the RFC wiki so we
can discuss tangibles.
