Er, thanks!  I suspect it was another of your suggestions that I've
since stolen :-)

I have a theory .... (obvious Monty Python quote deleted).

I have a another theory.  If we:

	o	deprecate ``:'' sequence IDs

	o	introduce a transport
		protocol that works

	o	ban the transport of new/improved
		packets using the old/broken
		transport protocol.
		
then there aren't any problems.
