@kjhealy Did you know: the checksum algorithm used for the IDs on shipping containers also yields one of 11 states, but instead of using X they simply declare IDs that would check to 11 invalid. Nevertheless you can occasionally find a shipping container using one of these IDs (always, so far as I know, wrapping around to 0).

@vruba @kjhealy I always wondered at the stray 10-digit ISBN that ended with "X".
