As to SLCP itself, we seem to have forgotten exactly when the initial
work on that was done. SLCP was definitely not in the production (RPI)
version of lily as of August 1996. But that same production server was

full-blown SLCP implementation, but the messages were the same format
which is still used for SLCP. It may be that developer versions of a
lilyCore had implementations of SLCP well before that.

Also, it should be said that we have considered XML at times after
we had SLCP implemented. But so far it doesn't seem like it would give
us enough benefits over the status quo. Also, due to the way messages
are generated in MOO and lilycoreDB, it is important that all data for
any single event (such as a message from one user to another) is sent
from the server to the client as one single line. Otherwise, data
related to different events might be sent to the client in a shuffled
fashion: one line of data from "event one", one line from "event two",
and then a second line from "event one".
