While we are still discussing whether having 32-bit or 64-bit length
fields in the mode, I think it is too early to allocate number for
chacha20 (see last comments on the list).

At least I want to make sure the draft is stable enough so that there
will NOT be any bits on the wire changes after we allocate the real
number. Before that it is better to use private numbers.
