The way I've been thinking, I would agree with this (that a hbeat.request
got a hbeat.app/basic or config.app/basic back as a response, depending on
the devices state).

Related to that, and again, I think this would come as a recommendation
than
a requirement, does anyone have an opinion on the format of the version?  I
can see 1) Leaving it entirely to the developer, 2) suggesting a V1.0
format
(version=V1.0) or 3) suggesting a "number" only (i.e.
version=1.0)

My thought right now is that the #3 would be the best way.

Note, by "number" only, I mean the raw version ident.  It
certainly could
have letters or something, justs no prefixes like "V" or
"Vrsn" or anything.
