Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-576:
-------------------------------------------

Using the update_seq or a UUID is probably the best way forward. We've already talked about adding a UUID to each database anyway so that seems probably the best route.

The ?type approach just seems awkward and really not much of a help if you can still accidentally delete things when you're in a hurry and don't bother specifying a ?type value.
