I'm planning to tackle that next. NGUID can not be in the same attribute
group. It needs to be in a new namespace group instead.

Right now all I got is the NGUID/EUI64. Any opinion on what to name the
attribute? I was going with "id". The systemd developers didn't provide
a very strong opinion, and I think they were confusing "serial" as a
unique identifier.

While I'm in this area, are there other namespace attributes anyone is
interested in exposing?
