    I don't know if one can actually "impose" a convention.  I think more in
    terms of code imposing things... which is right out, imho.  
    
    Finding the magic number of a module family is probably not going to be
    terribly difficult, anyway, and a simple way to spread us all out is all
    that I saw suggested.  *Shrug*, I'll use it... you don't have to... it
    seems a nice distance between richard offer's list of "numbers everybody
    will pick" and central registration. 's long as we don't all pick the same
    bit-pattern, the magic stays magic.
    
    Unconventially Good Idea, Thanks (yoink (pulls it into his idea pile.))
