I don't recall the specs but yes, it should be at least interesting to
have a uniq id, unrelated to the real reporting user, so that a
complaint can be tracked. Moreover it could be used to identify distinct
reports of the same spam/abuse if you, on the report receiving end of
ARF, decide to do automatic spam db feeding or blocking smtp-auth users,
for instance.

No. This should be processed on the LDA/MUA I guess.
