Hello Wilfred!

I may have to spin up my Winpoint to see for myself. But  
apparently Winpoint is getting new life in development and the  
uber msgid could be accomodated.  :D

According to fta-1006, the definitions are clear. But  
interestingly, the doc expired 20 years ago.  Why a definition  
doc needs to expire (and not be replaced by something else)  
alludes me.

Oh.. that's true enough.  But I've made my point. Assuming that  
the serialno must be implemenet in hex is just that, an  
assumption.
