In Lyceum a blog admin can change their blog's url 'slug' at any time

   http://myslug.example.com

And when they do so, the old slug is up for grabs, therefore introducting 
the potential for GUID collision between blogs. That's why I was wondering 
what WP (and maybe plugins?) use GUIDs for, becaue maybe GUID namespace 
collison between blogs never matters anyway?
