Hmm, I actually think the .txt file unsuccessfully tried to close
the barn door after horse has long left.  The existing clients that
read protocol capabilities keep the last-read copy and then
overwrite it when a new one came, which is why we couldn't update
the protocol by sending only incremental changes, etc. without
breaking existing clients.

I somehow thought that we already discussed why this was bad the
first time Duy's patch was posted, but apparently we didn't.

X-<.
