Peter, like most people, had expressed a desire to avoid private-use 
tags:  "I could make up a private-use ID, but given that this is 
probably not an isolated case for needing this, it seems to me to make 
sense to ask first if there shouldn't be a conventional recommendation 
in the LTR."

A private-use tag like "x-ident" (or even "x-id") would probably be more 
precise for Peter's purpose than one of the subtags or tags in the LSR, 
none of which has exactly the meaning he wants to convey.  But a PU tag 
only has meaning within the private agreement (which of course can be 
publicized widely, just not in the LSR) and Peter may feel this is not 
formal enough.
