Been chatting a bit with John and he expressed concern about the
orgunit-randomnumber apprach. In India there are multiple installations and
one cannot know for sure that an orgunit name will be unique. How do we deal
with this?

Using a globally unique identifier could be a solution, but the standard
Java implementation (UUID) uses 32 characters and is a bit long. Is
implementing our own, shorter one an option?
