This sounds like exactly what we want (to the naive me). It even answers
the questions I was about to ask about whether we wanted to involve the
transport layer and the port number.

If I'm reading this correctly, everything is in ASCII strings on the
wire, though, which sounds pretty awful. But my first impression is that
that is a small price to pay to not have to come up with our own whole
separate system.
