Comment(by strk):

 Finding appropriate "reserved" srid space would require some inquiring on
 postgis-users about their current max(srid), and then enforcing the max
 and the min trough a check on spatial_ref_sys.

 We'll have to account for:

  # Builtin values (those that we ship with spatial_ref_sys.sql, which may
 grow in time)
  # Custom user values
  # Reserved range (which can't be added to spatial_ref_sys)
  # Upper limit the serialization can hold (999999)

 Not sure we need to distinguish between the first two...
