  • Several typos corrected

  • Clarified 0x0A Locally Allocated range

  • Removed "deprecated, may be removed in the future" from the Locomotive Control section

  • Changed long NMRA ids from 16 to 12 bits

  • Defined a 44 bit range for Devices originating RailCom® and Bi-Directional Communications

  • Defined a range for DCC basic accessory decoder addresses

  • Clarified the range for DCC extended accessory decoder addresses

  • NMRA member numbers updated to handle special membership numbers:

    • 0x8 top nibble for Life Members (L)
    • 0x9 top nibble for Honoray Life Members (HLM)
  • Clarified that e.g. NMRA numbers are meant to be converted to hexadecimal, not used as BCD

The changes should have no negative impact on any existing implementation. An earlier draft was discussed on the OpenLCB groups.io list; comments made there have been included in this version.

This is a replacement for PR #186, which contained some extra content. The content of the Unique Identifiers files here are identical to that PR.
