Believe me, I'm *really* interested in your thoughts, the problems
you are trying to solve and the whole design process that you went
through. The process of protocol scope, design and evolution is
absolutely fascinating - it's almost a darwinian thing. Taking
designs apart and understanding the underlying motivations is a real
education in itself.

There's plenty of room in the world for another protocol :-)
Especially one which is elegant and minimalist. I apologise for
ramming xAP down your throat - my assumption was that as a new
subscriber to UKHA you wouldn't have come across it before.

Welcome to the list!
