This spec is awesome for us. Much of the cannabis space in USA depends on these government systems that require a central authority (read: government software) to generate IDs and lot-identifiers for items in the system (or they charge $0.40 for single-use RFID tags). And those systems are buggy, offline, broken, errors, etc, etc, etc.
So, this distributed ID system would permit us to take the central generator OUT of the process -- and do so following a coming global standard (rather than the current attempts to try one-off "unique" methods).
We were already doing something very similar to what is in this document -- which is nice, validates some of what we were already thinking. And I think it will be easier for us to bring others in with some "official" specifications. (I know it's draft only right now).
