That's fine.  Do note, however, a big difference here.  The first person who
claims to represent a given format will be assigned 100 (or 1000); if a
second person comes along and wants to register format types, 101 (or 1001)
will be assigned, etc.   (We're not going to try to decide who's the real
representative. There's room enough for all.) So there goes "consistency".
But I agree 1000 is better than 100.
