I'll fourth this motion. The spec goes out of its way to declare this a
violation. IMHO, the NFSv4.[0-n] specs should adopt the convention that a
uid string consisting of [0-9]+ be interpreted as the string
representation of a numeric UID--just as valid as a "user@domain" string.
I argued for this as an option in the early days but was shouted down.
Sorry I can't remember the details, it was many years ago.
