Evan,

*All* your comments were fair and accurate.

Given that the driver is now available on github and the format is
no longer in active use, I felt that the time you would spend reviewing
the code could probably be better spent elsewhere, at least unless and
until I think my code is better quality.

Thank you for the original review.
