I was thinking about that.  Nothing forces LUs to abide by characteristics
specified in the BIND.  If the LUs were in collusion they could agree on a
technique for redefining the presentation space dimensions at will.  This
would take them out of the standard 3270 datastream, though, so they
would be able to communicate with with LUs designed around the 3270
datastream.  In general, flexable but pretty useless.
