If at all possible I'd like to treat the "unique ids" the same way we do the
other stuff:
XdrIO io(mesh);
io.partition_map_file_name() = ".";
io.unique_ids_file_name() = "n/a";
io.write("mesh.xda");
We can then write the (id,uid) in the connectivity block, and also along with
the coordinates.
As for the header stuff, how about we target something more like this:
libMesh-0.9.2+ parallel type_size=8 sid_size=8 eid_size=8 side_size=8
bid_size=8
1000 # number of elements
1331 # number of nodes
. # boundary condition specification file
. # subdomain id specification file
. # unique id specification file
n/a # processor id specification file
n/a # p-level specification file
0 # subdomain id to name map
1000 # n_elem at level 0, [ type sid uid (n0 ... nN-1) ]
Or maybe just
libMesh-0.9.2+ parallel id_size=8
…
I think we can make better use of the "version" string for extensibility,
basically treating it instead as a "feature" string.

As for Derek's concern, I tend to agree that the current XDA file format has to
address a lot of concerns that overcomplicate it for what he wants. I'll add
another restriction: If we are limiting the parallel restart capability to
(1) always require an associated mesh,
(2) only work in the M->M case, and
(3) don't worry about version compatibility,
a new feature is desirable and not too hard.
I recommend
XdrIO io(mesh);
io.checkpoint("foo.xda");
...
io.restore("foo.xda");
and likewise for the EquationSystems.
Agreed?
