Fossil, Message-ID
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Suggestion to add multicodec number for Fossil version control system (I use for my own projects, instead of git) and Message-ID (mainly for identifying messages on NNTP, but also applicable to email).
My suggestion of numbers would be 0xF05511 (15750417) for Fossil and 0x3C (60; the ASCII code for a less than sign, which all message IDs must start with) for Message-ID. However, other numbers may also be possible if you believe that these numbers are unsuitable.

That sounds good to me.
0x3C (60; the ASCII code for a less than sign, which all message IDs must start with) for Message-ID.
We try to reserve numbers less than 0x80 (128) for widely used things as they encode as a single byte varint. Hence we ask everyone if a higher number would be OK as well. So I'd propose something that falls into at least the 2 byte varint range.

My idea was to use the less than sign since message IDs must start with it (one of the other codes says "corresponds to / in ASCII", and I had a similar idea but with < instead for Message-ID), but if that isn't important then a higher number will be OK instead.
