Following is the suggested change in the text to fix this issue: This is also

Old:
Unique identifier for the Resource as defined by the Service Consumer. The 
externalId may simplify identification of the Resource between Service Consumer 
and Service provider by allowing the Consumer to refer to the Resource with its 
own identifier, obviating the need to store a local mapping between the local 
identifier of the Resource and the identifier used by the Service Provider. 
Each Resource MAY include a non-empty externalId value. The value of the 
externalId attribute is always issued be the Service Consumer and can never be 
specified by the Service Provider. This identifier MUST be unique across the 
Service Consumer's entire set of Resources. It MUST be a stable, 
non-reassignable identifier that does not change when the same Resource is 
returned in subsequent requests. The Service Provider MUST always interpret the 
externalId as scoped to the Service Consumer's tenant.
