I'm not sure what this does. Maybe just stores a UCS that corresponds
to every entity?
Looking at the DXF spec, there is no (documented) facility for keeping
any UCS ID in an entity.
In rhizopod, I think everything should be stored in WCS, so the
connectors have to do as little calculation as possible to get the
data (e.g. "the grep litmus test".)
