Stefan, please not, that these changes were discussed in the chess engines
mailing list, before you published UCI. For my part, I made some suggestions,
(and some of those are part of the new draft Tim has shown), before I ever
heard of UCI. I would assume, that others didn't know of UCI, when they
thought about enhancements of the WB protocol. So the "suddenly one week
after ..." seems to be an accident.
