k.  That's one way to solve interoperability issues.

Excellent.  Information from the developers.

I found a power point slide here:

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dtic.mil%2Fndia%2F2006test%2Fhudgins.pdf&ei=tV9cRuCMPJXmgQPQ2ISRBQ&usg=AFrqEzfxshHV-vgke_DVfAbBeaMw6xzg0Q&sig2=Zv-fDXeO5Lo0s8OxcOn45Q

Slide 34(TENA Solutions to Interoperability Challenges) talks about 
On-the-wire specification and says this:

API Standard allows future technological advances for data transmission
to be much more cost-effectively incorporated

I had taken this to mean that TENA took the same approach as HLA.

Of course its just one powerpoint slide which could be wrong.  But it 
was the first I'd seen about it.
