-Item 10:  New daemon communication protocol.
-
-  What:   The current daemon to daemon protocol is basically an ASCII
-          printf() and sending the buffer. On the receiving end, the
-          buffer is sscanf()ed to unpack it. The new scheme would
-          retain the current ASCII sending, but would add an 
-          argc, argv like table driven scanner to replace sscanf.
-
-  Why:    Named fields will permit error checking to ensure that
-          what is sent is what the receiver really wants.  The
-          fields can be in any order and additional fields can be
-          ignored allowing better upward compatibility.  Much
-          better checking of the types and values passed can be
-          done.
-
-  Notes:  These are internal improvements in the interest of the
-          long-term stability and evolution of the program.  On
-          the one hand, the sooner they're done, the less code we
-          have to rip up when the time comes to install them.  On
-          the other hand, they don't bring an immediately
-          perceptible benefit to potential users.
