Is there a reason for the third digit?  The only possible advantage  
for the third digit it that I can imagine right now would be the  
ability to cut off previous messages prematurely w/o having to change  
the value of previous messages (besides testing my math skills).  Am I  
missing something?

For example:
0 0,
1 1000 0,
0 0 1000
0 200 1200,
1 200 1400,
0 200 1600

vs

0 0,
1 1000 0,
0 0 900 <--- cuts the ramp off early
0 200 1200,
1 200 1400,
0 200 1600
