I see. Thanks for the clarification. I take your point. It is perhaps 
because the body is so under-specified that this problem arises. You 
could get around it by, for example, requiring PING to always start with 
a timestamp and requiring an unsolicited PONG not to. Or you could 
require a UUID from both PING and unsolicited PONG.

But any of those ideas is no better (and probably worse) than your 
solution, so I'm happy to support it.
