Design Challenge #35 - Customer Id

I was showing examples of both complete and incomplete definitions during a recent training class, when I shared the following incomplete definition for a Customer Identifier:

"What else can you say about Customer Identifier anyway?", a participant asked.

I gave my answer, but first I would like to hear yours. What else can you say about Customer Identifier (or any identifier) to add more meaning to its definition?
