I'd have thought the solution was simpler than that. Carry around a small notepad with you, with numbers 1 thru "however many rolls you're carrying that day" inked in thick black felt pen, and let the first frame of each roll be shot of it's own sequential roll number, at minimum focus distance. No need to touch the film leader itself.

I've found that out about the permanent markers.
The lab I've been using is mail-order, and several rolls go into one bag. Their service has generally been good, and the quality of the processing is excellent. Service has been a bit off lately, I suspect because the volume of E6 processing is dropping.

Rick,
I found that the fixing bath is aggressive enough to delete any "permanent" marker. If lab's cooperation is not an option I suppose
you can always mechanically stamp your rolls by punching some holes. Just make sure you it's not on the first 5 cm which the lab usually cuts. BTW, do you send the rolls by mail or do you deliver it yourself? Personal contact makes people more responsible.
Servus, Alin
