The latest version of the ULID spec suggests / recommends / requires the entropy to be incremented (by one) for each subsequent ULID creation in the same millisecond. This keeps ordering easy, but isn't necessarily ideal for some applications. The @oklog implementation of ULID functionality in Go increments by a random number for subsequent calls.

Bit of discussion at ahawker/ulid#306.
