UUID encoding of Swedish identity numbers

UUID encoding of Swedish identity numbers.

An encoding of Swedish identity numbers for organisations, individuals, etc. in a Version 1 date-time and MAC address UUID. The MAC address is fixed and uniquely identifies this UUID as encoding a Swedish identity number. In addition the least significant bit of N must be set to 1.

The identity number is stored in the time_low and time_mid fields encoded with 4 bits per digit to be readable as the original identity in the canonical UUID hex representation.

A serial number is stored in time_hi to support multiple businesses registered to the same individual natural person.
