Just to clarify, the current draft has no limit at all. I think it's safe and reasonable to add a limit of 2^32 - 1, but I'm always nervous about adding limits on values because you never know when you might want them to be larger later. On the other hand, Julien has a good point that implementers aren't going to add a bigint implementation just to check sequence numbers. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
