Could a EOD field in Rread be useful ? In some cases it would avoid

yes, although we didn't find it a huge problem on the lego brick,
but then again the timing constraints were fairly lax, even for the lego clock.
we did run a zero-compressing run-length-encoding scheme to compress stat
entries
(lots of 28 byte NAMELEN things) and thus directories, but that would have been
less necessary with the current 9p2000/styx encoding; if perhaps still useful.
I could have strict timing constraints. I'm trying to understand how
fast can be a (not too expensive) net of mCtrl coordinated in "Plan9 style".
I read the paper about the Goofy toy (Pisupati, Brown, Indiana Un.),
based on a TI MSP430. Is there anyone in the 9fans community who tried
9P2000 on a Microchip's PIC ?
