You OSI weenies really need a sanity check (-:

There are two philosophies:
1. put X on top of transport, minimize changes, and optimize performance; or,
2. put X in the application layer, use ROS, et. al., and so on.

I suggest that #1 is something that will work in short order, be relatively
competitive with TCP-based X's and generally be a good thing.  I think that
#2, whilst interesting, is a research project.
