is that adoption of ordinals will increase demand for outputs, and thus
increase the size of the UTXO set that full nodes must track. See the
objections section below.

The ordinal number scheme is extremely simple. The specification above is 15
lines of code.

Ordinals are fairly assigned. They are not premined, and are assigned
proportionally to existing bitcoin holders.

Ordinals are as granular as possible, as bitcoin is not capable of tracking
ownership of sub-sat values.

=== Transfer and the Dust Limit ===

Any single-sat transfer can be accomplished in a single transaction, but the
resulting transaction may contain outputs below the dust limit, and thus be
non-standard and difficult to get included in a block. Consider a scenario
where Alice owns an output containing the range of sats [0,10], the current
dust limit is 5 sats, and Alice wishes to send send sat 4 and 6 to Bob, but
retain ordinal 5. Alice could construct a transaction with three outputs of
size 5, 1, and 5, containing sats [0,4], 5, and [6,10], respectively. The
