Looks good. That brings up the differences between type 2 and type 2+ though. I
believe zone and point information was introduced. If we can get it there,
maybe that's as far as we should go until we can get some proof that anything
further may or may not work. 

Maybe Mark can get in on the fun and try sending me a netmail from one of his
softwares that handles type 2.2 headers to see if it processes? (hint hint I
know he's reading). :)

Definitely.

Agreed. Well done for a day's work, eh? :)
