When we talk about future improvements, there could be even bigger problem with
ordinal numbers: what if/when we introduce some Monero-like system and hide
coin amounts? (for example by using zero satoshi, because we have to use
something that will be backward-compatible). Zero is quite interesting amount,
because it means "skip amount checking for old clients". That can be used in
many ways to introduce many protocols (and also to add fractional satoshis
on-chain, because 0.4 satoshis could be represented as zero), so if that
amounts will be simply ignored, then I wonder how it would be possible to
connect some future protocol based on that with ordinal numbers.
