Ah, that partly explains the QXL design. I'm thinking about reciting
your protocol manual to a bunch of programmers on a dark Halloween
night. That should scare the living excrements out of them.

On a side note, I just came back from my "operating systems" exam.
After they heard what I did they didn't even bother asking many
