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.
