I actually found I liked the ladder diagrams.  Surprising.

Anyhow...

The server echoes the representation?  Why? Why not just 200 OK.

3.1.1.1 You have "start" in one place and "offset" in another.

CONCLUSION: protocol-03 was obviously the result of a lot of hurried 
editing and is kind of messy.  This is smoother but incomplete.  I'd be 
more comfortable if we could iterate fast and have a protocol-04 ASAP; 
I'd like to get us back on a routine of scheduling Paces and adopting 
them or not, but frankly our protocol draft(s) are too chaotic to do 
this productively right now.  -Tim
