Re: Quick schema queries

Howdy,

You may want to take a look at the section(s) I just added to the xPL
protocol docs about heartbeats.  In particular, I documented the heartbeat
auto-discovery behavior, the hbeat.end/config.end shutdown heartbeats and
responding to a hbeat.request message.  I think there is enough detail and
I've made sure each is documented as optional.  But I could understand if
you feel some of them (the hub discovery and device discovery items) don't
belong here.
