The one caveat that I can see is that when you run out of your 4 digit number that it will expand to more digits like 

REG-RC-9999
REG-RC-10000

[download]

If you aren't going to have 10000 of these then you should be ok.

Otherwise you will need to do some stuff like going to REG-RD-0000 after REG-RD-9999.

    Well they came to me and said I could bump it up to a 5 diget number :-P

    If they get 99,999 job positions to fill in the next 4 years... Then DAMN.. That is good right??
