Sure, but he has to have a reliable way to tell what version of the page
header he's looking at...

What I'm wondering though -- are we going to make CRCs mandatory? Or set aside
the 4 bytes even if you're not using them? Because if the size of the page
header varies depending on whether you're using CRCs that sounds like it would
be quite a pain.
