Arse, I seem to have confused everyone ;) I was using
IM as an example of two way symmetric communications,
c.f. using web-browsing as an example of ephemeral
asymmetric connections.
Absolutely the last thing I want to do is entrust
anything in my house to the likes of AIM ;)
You're spot on with smtp/ftp - we want something
equivalently simple, preferably human readable,
flexible enough to be used by a wide variety of
devices, and which allows for future expansion /
revision as we think of more stuff.
Actually, now I think about it, maybe SNMP is the way
to go, or at we could at least look at is a jumping
off point. Normally I wouldn't recommend SNMP for
anything more strenuous than propping up a wonky
table, but it does address a lot of the same issues.
