I like the detail of the explanation for the Message bundle the robot receives. However, I would love to see that same level of detail in the JSON-RPC operations the robot sends to the wave. What is the extent of the methods that can be sent? How about the params? How exactly is it sent through a url?
I would be interested in building a PHP client library so understanding my limitations would be very helpful. Also, when will the new protocol be rolled out (if it hasn't been already) and is it possible to begin building the client library currently?
