Argh!  That is another non-orthogonal approach to protocol design.   
And kind of defeats the whole idea of MIC-E - to be as short as  
possible, or am I missing something?  Don't we have a compressed  
position format for non-MIC-E rigs, and doesn't that include an  
identifier of the sending station type?
