 AA> Hello Martin,

 MF>> Here's the simple warning I'd already added to the guide:

 MF>> ---------- 8< ---------- WARNING: You are now in the domain field, which

 MF>> something else, DO NOT LEAVE THIS FIELD EMPTY. If this field is empty,
 MF>> you may encounter problems when polling your BossNode! ---------- 8<
 MF>> ----------

 MF>> All uppercase words are in bold/red.

That is excellent.  Maybe put "may" in bold and red too.  

So.. the 5D spec doesn't care what text goes there?  Can it be "this
cannot be empty" ?

The warning is most certainly critical.  I can see new user cleaning out
that field and never suspect why a connection never succeeds.
