Well, it allows uuids without depending on the presence of the uuidgen
binary. E.g. I happen to occasionally use computers I have no control
of and carry my Emacs/Org configuration with me.
Without the elisp function the ID properties of my headlines are in an
inconsistent format depending on whether uuidgen was present on the
machine I created the ID property or not.
It may be a little pedantic but I'd like to be specific in what format
the IDs have and like the idea of having IDs that follow an
established standard.
Maybe another usage of the function could be:
- org-id-method can be 'org for Org's id mechanism or 'uuid for uuids
- `org-id-new' uses uuidgen if present and falls back to the elisp
function otherwise
