> each one comes out as a, for all practical purposes, unique unpredictable ID

I don't have much cryptography experience, but this seems _suuuuper_ suspicious. I think the "for all practical purposes" is doing a lot of lifting here? If it was this easy, surely this is what we'd use, and there wouldn't be UUID v4 to begin with.

The value of uuid is the lack of coordination. “…integers in sequence…” requires quite a bit of coordination if you have more than one computer ;)
