Possible use cases: * Matching comments between PHP and Parsoid HTML [implemented here] * Finding the same comment in a different revision of a page (e.g. while resolving an edit conflict, or to allow resuming composition of autosaved comments) [implemented for highlighting user's own posted comment only] * Permanent links to comments [future] The reasoning for this form of ID is: * _Timestamp_ by itself is a nearly unique identifier, so it's a good thing to start with * Users may post multiple comments in one edit (or in many edits in one minute), so we need the _sequential number_ to distinguish them * _Username_ is probably not required, but it may reduce the need for sequential numbers, and will help with human-readability if we add permanent links The ID remains stable when a new comment is added anywhere by anyone (excepts comments within the same minute by the same user), or when a section is renamed. It's not always stable when a comment is moved or when an entire section is moved or deleted (archived), but you can't have everything. Change-Id: Idaae6427d659d12b82e37f1791bd03833632c7c0 |
