	Just to be clear: I would not have been in favor of using integer IDs. However, this was discussed and settled before I was actively involved in the OpenStack code, so I didn't want to have this devolve into a resurrection of what had already been decided. If someone wants to restart that discussion, I'd certainly be interested, but that's not what I'm looking for in this thread.

	The question before us is: given integer IDs, what is the best way to handle the added complexity of multiple zones?
