From what you tell here, Norman follows the same idea like my patch does.
I don't know how he implemented that idea.
But what I did, uses doubles for the position (with floats you will have
roundoff in the magnitude of 1e-7*6e6 \approx 1 m in the multiplayer's
positions).
And I use quaternions for the orientations, which is more compact
representation (4 floats) than sending the whole transform matrix.
What is missing is a clear architecture indenpendent definition of the storage
layout....
Also a 'protocol version' field in the message header will be a good idea IMO.
That way clients could distinguish if and how they should look at that binary
chunk.
