This is a hobby where we have to be careful how we change message
formats. There's a lot of legacy/retro systems that we should support,
so the message transmission needs to be able to downgrade to basic
ANSI, and where possible, upgrade to the more generic and flexible
format, when passing messages to the wider network.

The last thing we wish to do is what the hams did when introducing "new" digital formats where one doesn't speak to the other and now we have this massive (as I call it) tower of babel effect. Hobbies should be fun not frustrating :)
