I think that's a test for compliance with the various UUID type
indicators. A UUID can be created from host id + timestamp + counter,
or from a random number, and I think the original DCE spec had a third
method (http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9629399/apdxa.htm for
example). So the UUID isn't simply a random byte string, there are
some interpretable fields in there.
