Also, it's easy to add new tags in the private, external range (100000+)
for doing things and then when things are working, it's easy to then
move them to be real assigned header tags.

Think of adding a new header tag as like adding a new syscall.  Once
added, they can't be removed.  So the idea is to make sure that the
implementation and usage is sound before they're added.  But there's a
range for experimenting and finding out what works available also
