Thanks for pointing this out, I had the same thought while reading the
patch.
In my original idea, I imagined that target description IDs could be
some hashes computed from the XML content (a bit like git hashes or ELF
build IDs), such that a given target description would always have the
same ID. This would give clients the possibility to cache target
descriptions locally, a bit like the index cache. It did sound nice,
but perhaps it's not really important.
