4) To maintain some of the binary advantages, I'd suggest going back to the
old FOURCC codes, and have the first letter denote command type. Then BCHA

connecttome.

Why include the from-guid in the messages to hub? Hub should know which GUID
to associate with which connection, and including it in the message only
uses unnecessary bandwidth, and hub would have to do unnecessary checks...
