Not the titles that are unique

No, it's no the titles that would be unique. It's that instead of a numerical, auto-incrementing ID column (i.e. nid and vid for nodes and revisions) it would instead use a globally unique ID string. This ID would be unique across all drupal instances everywhere. So the content (or setting or what have you) could be moved from one database to another without colliding with existing data.

It would be a long ugly string, but end users would never see it.
