This memo describes the design principles for the Blocks eXtensible
eXchange Protocol (BXXP).  BXXP is a generic application protocol
framework for connection-oriented, asynchronous interactions.  The
framework permits simultaneous and independent exchanges within the
context of a single application user-identity, supporting both
textual and binary messages.
