You fascists always eventually go for the security angle. But yes, I'd 
agree with you that such a situation would require taking the server down.

Also, this makes me think of versioning...once the protocol is closer to 
what we have in mind, and I guess once we have a functioning client, we 
should have a way for the server to notify the client of a new protocol 
version, including a short description. I'll just call this a FEETURE 
for future reference.
