Re: xAP configuration protocol

[mark_harrison_uk2]

Ian Bird had done some work on this, which is included in the
firmware of his relay boards.

Patrick Lidstone and I had a look at this at UKHA2003 (well - Patrick
looked at the details) and Patrick was interested.

I'd like to suggest that Ian write up what he's done as a proposal,
and we see whether it covers all we need...

I think that there's a debate on whether devices HAVE to have this in
order to be xAP-compliant, or whether there's a sort of adjunct spec
called "xAP-autoconfigure" and there are some xAP devices that
implement it and others don't...
