The protocol should also contain some means of defining which models are
supported by the client. In HTTP we have the Accept: header which eventually
can be reused. Thus you only get what you ask for.

Then you probably also will find out what each party is capable of when
logging in to an agent or region domain so your client will eventually tell
you then already that it's not compatible or maybe warn you that you need a
BIG pipe for seeing anything at all ;)

For me this also sort of solves the scope discussion. We design now for the
SL Grid as it more or less is today but we can maybe keep options open by
providing some version flags. Not sure I am thinking maybe too simple here
but I am not too deep into the existing protocol. That's also the reason why
I'd really would like to start with defining something :-) I at least would
have a better idea then about what we are actually doing ;-)

Note also that we will also just create revision 1 of this standard, more
advanced ones will probably follow and probably we will have learned a lot
from rev 1.
