Thanks. I think it'll be a non-dynamic because some of the above can't 
be implemented without changing Dynamic, and Jim's not available for 
that right now. But I can whip up a format plugin in half an hour.

Is the salt length always 8 (so prefix always "1")? If not, is there a 
length we can count on being the maximum?
