I think that the assignent by a Registry should be sufficient, as you suggested earlier.
The UID assigned by the Registry,  should probably appear within the CPP instance in order that
it is declarative.
If this upsets the digital signing before submission to aRegistry,  then maybe that methodology
shold be re examined.

I don't think that the CPP should be used before it has its' UID in place.

Some notes:

Maybe one brave soul with some free time could contact Dun and Bradstreet to talk to them about
our little plans?
