+<H1>Unique IDs</H1>
+
+<P>Plugin types are identified by unique IDs. At the time of writing
+plugin writers may request these from <A
+HREF="mailto:ladspa@muse.demon.co.uk">ladspa@muse.demon.co.uk.</A>
+This may change, in which case <A HREF="http://www.ladspa.org">
+http://www.ladspa.org</A> is likely to provide information on new
+sources.</P>
+
+<P>Plugin IDs 1-1000 are reserved for development use and plugins must
+not be released publicly with these IDs as clashes are likely. Plugin
+ID 0 will never be allocated.</P>
+
+<P>It is hoped that plugin IDs will fit into 24bits. In the unlikely
+event that this range needs to be extended it will be, possibly with
+the addition of a second dimension (e.g. developer ID). In the
+meantime hosts may assume that IDs will not exceed 0x00FFFFFF.</P>
