[Building Sakai] Workspace id ignores provided user id ?

[David Horwitz]

Is there a reason you are setting the userId == eid? I would recommend 
you leave the id null and let Sakai generate the internal Id. This gives 
you flexibility down the line, for instance this enabled us to rename 
accounts when the University desided to change all staff logins ...
