Or it could just be the moral equivalent of being reasonable.  A protocol
that used end-of-packet characters that could be configured to match the
transport packet drivers (or the reverse) would be nice.  Adjustable fixed
sized packets would be another approach but the transport would have to
allow different packet sizes in each direction to work well.
