In > this case pretty much eliminates interoperability issues. What precisely are the interoperability issues? This is not a matter of server-to-server communication. If the server to which I connect uses hashes and the server to which you connect uses sequence numbers and Matt's server uses the names of people who post in this thread, how does interoperability break? The only way that interop would break here is if clients are treating versions as something other than opaque, which they are not supposed to do. Please explain.
