we have stream id 0 (though it is special for the connection - its not special for stream manipulation).. and offset 0.. and a connection id sequence number that starts at 0. 

If we go with martin's proposal re 62 bit integer encoding, there are billions of integers to use as sentinels in an implementation with a 64 bit int without overloading ones that can be transferred on the wire and cause interop pain.
