Comment:
From a discussion with the other -bis authors, we've concluded the
following:
- OIDs can already be 4 bytes long, so switching to INT32 does not save
any space.
- Using INT32 requires asking an ID allocation from IANA for every log,
even testing logs, since even test logs should have unique identities.
- "Private" IDs are dangerous: them being used publicly would lead to
similar issues presented by private MIME types.
- Clients don't need to parse LogID OIDs, they can treat them as opaque
blobs.
