Aargh - I wasn't looking to introduce a lot of work.. (quite the
opposite!)

Here's an idea - how about there are no changes to the OCX or DLL, so
the code doesn't act to prevent "interval=xx" but the xPLHal
Manager and
Config manager don't allow the user to enter a value greater than 9?

Especially if this could this be done just by editing an xml file, in
the same way that the vendor files can specify a number range?

As the spec currently says minimum 5, max 30, I would propose that we
simply lower the maximum value to 9 with a minimum (and default) of 5.

I think as our real world experience of xpl messages has grown, this
number is looking more like a slight tweak for network load reasons,
rather than something to change just for kicks.

Ian.
