I recall wondering what crid was all about a few years ago and doing
some research. I concluded it was not very useful.

Having just looked it up again (as a result of your post) I read this in the RFC

"The policy of assignment of CRID values lies with the CRID author
associated with the authority field. It is likely that there will be
a number of diverse (and possibly changing) authoring policies as
required by various organisations as they address their respective
audiences."

leads me to believe that the crid info is defined by each provider -
ie TV3 will probably use a different schema than TV1 and it's
potential is therefore minimal in the extreme.

Of course I may have that wrong, interested to know what your research
has revealed.
