Apparently, cats, in general, actually have a more powerful sense of smell
than most dogs do ...  Which may firmly place this back in the domain of
interest of the Internet Community :>   Stay tuned for Smell-you tube.

However unless there is an IETF VINTNER working group that I'm unaware of,
we are way behind on this.  Encoders at least have already been commercially
available for quite some time now.  Though decoders you may still have to
scratch to operate ...
