I don't think patches have to conform to that exactly. IDR patchid's for 
example are prefixed with IDR which patchadd can install fine. I'm not sure 
if you can replace the patchid itself with a regular string (eg. 
APPPATCH-05), I've cc'd install-discus some folks there are more familiar 
with the patchadd/pdo code.

Out of interest, how are you creating the patches?

Cheers,
~Albert
