[aprssig] APRS RFID apps? (spec rev2)

[Wes Johnston, AI4PX]

This is a good point... a local veternarian was complaining about the
diversity of pet tags that could be inplanted in a critter.  He would have
to have a different reader for each brand.  He wasn't a very tecchie guy, so
I have to wonder if we was referring to different brands using different
frequencies.

FWIW, a nearby county was considering an ordinance to RFID tag all pets when
they got rabies shots.  This was to go hand in hand with a leash law.
