[gdal-dev] S-57 driver Generic attribute DSNM

[Andreas Oxenstierna]

Hi

I have not checked the GDAL implementation but DSNM is an unneccessary 
addition to the S57 spec to generate a (potential unique) GUID.
S57 spec has no GUID definition, IDs needs only be to unique inside a 
dataset/ENC cell.

DSNM belongs to the dataset-wide DSID fields, see 6.3.2 in 
https://iho.int/uploads/user/pubs/standards/s-57/20ApB1.pdf
