patch to now allow for empty string id none

Description David McKnight CLA 2011-03-15 15:20:00 EDT 
While generating IDs for DataElements, "" is being accepted as valid as long as it's unique to the DataStore.  But this allows for elements representing different things on the client and the server to be created using the same ID.
