Description

Clients use the same membership ID class as servers. Server IDs contain the UUID needed for some communications. They also carry a byte for member-weight adjustments. These bytes are not needed in the serialized form of client membership IDs and should be supressed, saving 17 bytes per serialized ID.

Server-side version tags and event IDs also do not need these bytes in their serialized form.
