Thanks a lot for the feedback so far.  It took a lot more work than
I'd thought, but I think we now have a fairly solid first pass at a
*complete* design and messaging spec (excluding the parallel computing
part).  Here's the last version I just put up:

http://github.com/ipython/ipython/blob/8dbbf5e225c816fe2b74c5756ab0b3a558cd9303/docs/source/development/messaging.txt

but if you prefer to read civilized HTML I built and pushed the nightlies:

http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/nightly/html/development/messaging.html


At this point, please do pound on this document.  This should be our
*real* spec,  the actual code should match it, and it should be
complete.  We'll be implementing off of this, so anything that I've
missed, please do point it out.

Thanks for any feedback!
