Ive noticed allot of the time that the browser, sdk, servers etc depend allot on the aw protocal, which while cute, requires allot of updating for each feature.

Id like to see a DataString command incorporated into the main AW system that would allow a large ammount of data to be set, sent, or recieved about a world, avatar etc in a single string.

For example, Custom Avatars...

You have a standard rick avatar with its textures applied onto its models.

'[<cAv(shirt=av_skin9.jpg,trousers=psy2.jpg)><msg(message='A security guard with flashy trousers')>]

The browser can take this single string, and then interprit its data directly saying that the avatar has a av_skin9.jpg texture for its body, and psy2.jpg for its trousers, while if you mouve your move over this Av it could say "A security guard with flashy trousers"...

Seems a decent idea, possable or not.. im unsure? The basic idea is for the string to be transfered, the clients at either end interprit it saving a tonne of protocal updates for every single feature.

Omg, that protocol has a *lot* of overhead :).
