Fw: [GSMP] more changes to the base draft

 Hi Avri,

 I'm writing to seek the possiblity in GSMP base header to add following items:

 1. A proirity flag to indicate the processing priority for the message.
 2. An optional checksum part in GSMP for error control.

 If possible, I also ask to leave some space in the Version field for possible including of other 
 possible protocols like GRMP (http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-wang-forces-grmp-01.txt). 

 Thank you. 

 Weiming
