Just a little bit from just about the only person who has *actually* 
used the PMT type other than Eric ;)  I definitely agree with Eric 
against statically typed messages.  It will severely impact a major goal 
of the PMT, which is to support dynamic messages between blocks for MAC 
implementations. :)
