    To be clear, it's not a "doi." You would have to reference
    http://doi.openwetware.org/oww70777
    
    We could just as easily make it
    http://foo.openwetware.org/oww70777
    
    The only reason it says doi is because this is social engineering
    and not a technical solution over what currently exists.

    Yes the oldid is a unique id for each revision and you can just
    use that. To get real DOIs and make them official like you're
    talking about costs $25K/year.
