Moreover, virtually all existing frameworks have bugs when processing things _inside_ that 32-bit range, even though they have the types needed for that range. No matter what we define as Structured Headers, there will be many implementation bugs. Our goal should be * a standard that a good developer can implement correctly without major hassles, rather than * a standard that an implementation by an average developer cannot screw up. I have not heard arguments why the former cannot use 64-bit integers. The latter is impossible to design IMO. Alex.
