Yes.  Please consider adding some/all of that to the Wiki!  I'd
suggest making a separate KISS Wiki page to do it justice and moving
the current KISS stuff from the Protocol page to there.

I'll volunteer to make the new page/move the current info if you'll
add info and chop up the stuff I wrote into something readable (or
just delete altogether, I'm not proud!).
