- Is the use of tag 65535 already in somebody's code? If not, it might
- be wise to reserve a private tag ID from Aldus, which avoids the danger
- of encountering images with incompatible tags of the same ID (65535 is
- a likely candidate for this hazard). Aldus allocates them in blocks of
- 5, and it only takes a day or two to get them.
-
- I'm not sure who handles the TIFF tag registry now (it used to be Andy
- Commons) but you might try Steve.Carlsen@aldus.com for starters.
