Which other numbering schemes do we want to be able to un-break by increasing this default? For example, I know some people use the IP address with dots removed -- we'd have to use a very large # to make sure that worked. Before making another change, it'd be good to know what other schemes people are using and that we'd really be fixing the issue for someone.
