(...) That's true. I'm also thinking outside of the web interface.... If I have some newsreader which I want to set up to react to set numbers, it'd be nice if they were distinctly identifiable. (25 years ago, 14-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) If some special syntax is used, then it has to be something really simple, otherwise people won't do it.
