How do you keep track of the nodes in the "graveyard"? Does that mean that each node has to have some sort of UUID across clients?

Graveyard is just another root, like the main one. So, the same way that all elements have the same position in the main root for all clients, elements in graveyard also have the same position for all clients. Thus, their path is kind of UUID for them.
