Joe,
I generally agree with you that being in control of the
interface is a good thing, but I would disagree with
your "security by obscurity" argument. True, if you
use a proprietary protocol, that the 'script kiddies'
are left out in the cold, but if your system is worthy
of attack, the bad guys will get you anyway.
