I don't think the intention is relevant.  This isn't a "security concern";
there is no risk to guard against.


Agreed.  I just let through the last few posts surrounding "tricking"

for some real bugs.  I think the protocol was published recently, no?
That would be a good place to start.

The protocol was published:
