I'm trying to create globally-unique identifiers in JavaScript. I'm not sure what routines are available on all browsers, how "random" and seeded the built-in random number generator is, etc.

The GUID / UUID should be at least 32 characters and should stay in the ASCII range to avoid trouble when passing them around.
