Thanks a lot! What if more than 64K people have asked for a PID?

  They'd just buy up another VID, the names associated with VIDs don't need to be unique.

    Alternatively, a bunch of cooperating projects could share a VID:PID pair and agree amongst themselves and agree on an alternative way to identify devices. The VID:PID would cause the USB driver to load a "sub driver" that would implement the alternative scheme. For that matter, by using such an extension the whole open source community could exist under a single VID:PID.
