Hey mark!

 ml> i agree that the existing type 2.2 and 2+ proposals should be
 ml> elevated to standards

For at least the last 10 years 2+ is the most commonly used pkt type from what
I have seen.  Only lately have I been adventerous enough to try 2.2 and it
worked 100% until one node 'upgraded' his software.  Mind you when he did that
then type 2 started working again ... if indeed it wasn't working before.  I am
not sure since I have gotten used to it being broken and unsupported for at
least 10-ish years or so.  :-/

 ml> the timestamp thing in the packet headers of type 2 and 2+?

Yes.  They both are based on the 1-11 month ala the localtime() function
(tm_mon).  Personally I could easily live without it.

Life is good,
Maurice
