I've not figured out what the initial "0" field is for. It's "0" for all of my pets on the beta.

Battle pet addon authors who save petIDs, if you don't already, you may want to save the speciesID of saved petIDs so you can reconstruct petIDs in the changeover. (Probably already handled, since servers seem to want to reassign petIDs on a whim)
That seems very inconsistent with the rest of the GUID changes (the fact that it only has 2 data values).
