> @DavidSchinazi, what do you mean by _without coordination_?

The idea is that there is a lot of space in the 8-byte version, and so if you just pick a random code point in that space, the chance of collision is vanishingly small. This means people can do experiments without having some registry or other mechanism to prevent people choosing the same code point.
