A couple of questions Oz: 1. Would the client have a problem if another word was added to the message giving - duplicating the data, but allowing newer clients to choose to use the new word while older clients use the old byte? 2. Would the client have any problems if the CoarseLocationUpdate message was never sent? If not then that message could be deprecated, with a removal date set for some time in the future, while a new message that could handle much higher detail information was put in place and all newer clients were switched to it?
I ask because this limitation of the message really puts a pinch in https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-27577.
