The mining software has to search for the epoch number anyway, because that's needed to create light cache and DAG - the sizes of light cache and full DAG are functions of the epoch number.
Epoch / block number has 4 bytes max, seed hash 32 bytes.
Block number is better than epoch number, because:
you can estimate when the epoch change will occur,
it's more informational for users (e.g. you can log the current block number),
it's easier to explain in the spec what the block number is than what the epoch number is.
I recommend creating version 1.1.0 of the spec with this change.
