While this seems a useful option to have to build better overlays; we should 
use something that reflects the estimated remaining uptime based on energy 
remaining of a device which is more relevant to overlay operations. Just energy 
information may be ambiguous. From a diagnosis point of view we cannot deduce 
what it means.

I still think the diagnostic kinds are not defined fully. It wont be very 
useful if each implementation has its own notion of defining bandwidth, 
processing power etc. Some more explanantion of the kinds would be very useful. 

Thanks

IMHO, this should be a binary value representative of the % of energy  
a device may have available at any given time. This covers solar,  
wind, etc and not simply "battery" as far as terminology is concerned.  
Who's to say a solar based geo-sync satellite might not be running as  
a p2psip node one day with battery backup on board? ;-)
