No. But we did decide on a format for that long long ago.
Horst, please speak up. It involved, country of birth, date of
birth, color or eyes, ethnicity, etc. I think we sorely need
it to add at least some level of reliability to distributed
services (how can we ever link back records unless we have
identifying information going beyond an abstract primary key)?
Without that even FEBRL cannot do anything for us.

IMHO also reconstructible. Hence constructed from constant
values (gender ISN'T one of those). Eye color still is, date
of birth is, country of birth at time of birth is. It needn't
(and IMHO shouldn't) be an arbitrary number.
