So you are claiming that because the precise choice of data types
is not completely settled makes it impossible for you to assess
how different a software side written to the macro-based API compared
to one written using DPI will be?  I think you are blowing the
amount of fluidity in the definition a little bit out of proportion.
The precise set of data types we support is not going to substantially
change the nature of the DPI interface.  And you already know what
the SCE-MI 1.1 macro-based API interface looks like.  It seems to me
there is enough information to see the differences between the two.
