Hi Patrick,

yes I know about xAP and have followed it closly. Much of it is very
interesting but I don't like the compelexity for parsing packet contents.
An XML format would have been better IMHO but is still not very well
suited for low end controlers. With easy parsed XML it is (xAP)  however
perfect for PC's and other higher end eqipment. This may also be the
correct way to go as we get more and more power and Ethernet TCP/IP for
the nodes.

I will continue to follow xAP.

Regards
/Ake
