Given the 2^56 ids available under 0xff, I suspect that would do us
for the time being.  The real problem is overallocation of the space
(thus using it up for non-existant instantiations).  I suggest that we
allocate 32 bit ranges at a time allowing for a wildly successful
project to go to everyone on the net, and still allowing 16M projects.
