The sequence of binary bytes varies based on both version and options, and nothing in the bitstream itself allows someone to read it without knowing the implied meaning of the next byte. It would be possible to document the protocol in a pseudo-code form using some nested entity definitions and lots of "if version >=" and "if option" conditionals, but I don't believe that has yet been done. ..wayne..
