[Coldstuff] ColdRPC draft

[xmath]

Brandon,

you asked for docs on the rpc protocol I'm designing..
here is the first draft:

http://www.nubz.org/coldrpc.txt

notes:
1. it's a first draft, the specs are still a bit messy (the protocol isn't)
2. a large part of ColdRPC rests in standard defined methods (on $rpc 
and elsewhere) which will handle things like authentication, 
negotiation of features, etc etc. This isn't yet documented in any 
way, the draft contains just the "transport layer" basically.
3. although it speaks of "client" and "server", it's equally well 
suitable for server-to-server, where the "client" is just the server 
which connects to the other server. The only relevant difference is 
the site-numbering of objects.

PS I'm CCing this to the coldstuff list because other people may be 
interested too, feedback welcome :)
