Right, I got that it's a proposal for user sequences. I stand by my
comments regarding that proposal- if you're going to have all the
complexity of having to talk to some other system to figure out what
value(s) you can use, you might as well get an ordering with it. If
that's not necessary, then doing pre-allocation is probably sufficient
and would provide a direct way, without having to ask any other system,
to figure out which system a given value is on.
Thanks,
