Now were getting somewhere. However TQP should be regarded as
a stepping stone to the more worthwhile Temperature Syncronisation Protocol
or TSP. There would obviously have to be a few regional variations
to cope with localised concentrations (outbreaks??) of SPARC stations, etc
but these could be agreed with a little give-and-take. Prehaps a
temperature standard of 19C would be acceptable to all. 

If sucessfully implemented, such a protocol would also contribute 
towards reducing Global Warming.
