Merge Replication and Keys

A couple of questions about Merge Replication (involving two 2000 servers):
1. From what I read Merge Replication requires a uniqueidentifier column
and will create one if you do not already have one. Correct?
2. If #1 is true, then do you have to have primary keys for every table
involved in Merge Replication?
Thx.1. Yes
2. Not for merge since it will use rowguid columns, but you really should
have PK on every table in your database.
