Title: Message

It's unclear to me from the text below in what context the uniqueness 
applies. It this per user? per page?

This text in the draft has been modified based on recent 
  decisions to: 

  
entityInstanceKey: A unique, opaque string the Consumer MAY 
  supply as a 
reference to this use of the entity. This 
  reference MAY be used by the 
entity to properly 
  separate data for multiple instances of the entity 
within any Producer-defined data sharing mechanisms. Since this 
  reference 
may be used as such a key, its length MUST 
  be less than 256 bytes and 
Consumers SHOULD keep it as 
  short as possible. 

  
There has also been a suggestion to add a note that a Producer 
  could use 
this as a reference in place of generating a 
  sessionID and that such a use 
will likely have a 
  positive impact on the Consumer's performance.

Title: Intent and scope of uniqueness of the 
  entityInstanceID in the 
RuntimeContext 
  
Document Section: 5.1.2 
Description: 
What is the intent of 
  entityInstanceID in RuntimeContext? The spec is 
unclear about the difference between the producer-generated 
  entityHandle 
and consumer-generated entityInstanceID. 
  It appears that the producer 
will have to use both 
  entityHandle and entityInstanceID to uniquely 
associate data with an entity. However, for producers not offering 
  
registration, the consumer generated entityInstanceID 
  (along with 
entityHandle) is not adequate for 
  guaranteeing uniqueness on the 
producer end.
