As long as the datatypes are only used in a specific firmware or community, all
people know about the assignment and there is no need to register the number -
its like using the private LAN 192.168.0.0/16 network in your home network,
you know that you use it and you don't have to tell anyone.
However if you write up some software potentially used in many *different*
communities, like vis, its a good thing to register.
In any case, please choose and feel free to let us know. :)
