As you pointed out, the SRB (once inside) can research the characteristics of the address space to see if things are as expected or not - so any SRB likely to come up against inits can have code to cater for the occasion.
ASCBINTS can be used as a job "instance" number in an initiator. Even in the *extremely* unlikely event that job names/numbers wrap all the way around to the same values between the time the scheduling unit of work inspects them and when the SRB finally arrives, ASCBINTS will be different.
