It seems to me the easiest solution is that the client should probably be
responsible for generating UUIDs.
Is there a counter-argument that indicates CouchDB being responsible for
this? The only one I come up with quickly is that it puts an extra burden on
the client. Not such a huge burden though. As far as the server goes, client
generation seems to adhere to the wonderful tenet K.I.S.S.
