STC in VOResource records

[Patrick Dowler]

ummm, just realised that this doesn't matter if that gloablly unique ID never 
needs to be parsed... does it never need to be parsed? I am thinking that if 
someone wants to normalise or optimise a large resource document, they may 
need to do something like that.

2c,
