However I am not sure how the date and time would turn out if you were generating many many numbers on the same page (IE: procesed at nearly the same time). At that point you fall back on the random number to be sufficient (which it probably should be even with WEBDNA and random seed weirdness).But it seems that if you are doing this within some kind of loop, as the original post suggests, then the [index] is the perfect answer (applied with math if you want greater changes in the sequence).
