guaranteed to be a one-to-one (invertible) function.
You could theoretically have two distinct URLs that have the same MD5.

Thanks Yonik,
Basically, I am indexing a number of items where the unique ID is a
URL. Because URL's can contain invalid XML characters, and I will be
doing some XSLT postprocessing, I was thinking that a good way to
solve the problem would be to store these unique ID's as md5's instead.

I would like to be able to compute and store the MD5 sum for a given
text in a field (in my case, I am talking about a URL string). For
example, if I have a field called 'url' the following would happen:
'http://wiki.apache.org' -> 'cb4f7e6ca1a0
