If it's done in the skeleton, and just maps to the serialno in the rest
of the streams, I don't see much difference in computational complexity
between making minor edits and completely regenerating the skeleton
header. There may be a code complexity difference. This is something
where, if you want adoption, you're going to have to keep the design as
dead-simple as possible.
