This article doesn't say what a WWID or World Wide Name is used for within the network. Endpoints, resources, or what? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.186.110.146 (talk) 04:31, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  The answer to that is pretty much "yes".  I tried to clear that up.(71.233.167.118 (talk) 03:48, 10 May 2012 (UTC))[reply]

I fleshed this whole article out a tad (which included added a short description of the "mapped" format.) What I did not do was link to the separate WWNN/WWPN page, because those acronyms and terms are not distinct enough to merit a separate page. They should probably be just redirected to this article. To wit, those terms are now mentioned, and mentioned in the first paragraph. (71.233.167.118 (talk) 03:48, 10 May 2012 (UTC))[reply]
