These do not relate to development milestones. R1 is a unique identified for the given requirement. R1.x is a unique requirement Id for something that is a sub item of the top level requirement R1.
Is there a more "openstack standard way" for generating requirements Id?

The current proposal is an attempt to be consistent with the direction for the "openstack one CLI". Adrian's addressed it in his other reply.

I will make this change unless hear objections

Names do not have to be globally unique; just unique within the tenant namespace. The Name+tenant combination should map to a unique uuid. 
The CLI is a client tool, where as a user working with names is easier. We will support both, but start with Names (the friendly shortcut), and map it to uuid behind the scenes.
