Isn't that what 'v' is allegedly for?
The whole thing about using organizational names in packet formats, as
recommended for the query packets, seems a bit like overengineering.
If we're responsive, it should be enough for people to simply post
here saying that they've defined a 'u' packet that does thus-and-so.
Even if we don't like the packet, we can at least act as an ad-hoc
"assigned numbers authority" and note that it's been used somewhere.
