I disagree with this.... the XBoard/Winboard protocol is full of problems too.
Take for instance the 'edit' mode..... it really stinks. Why not just pass an
EPD string to the engine?  then the setup would be able to cope with ep squares,
castle status, etc.

Or how about the comands time and otim? Why not just have a single command
'time' followed by white's remaining time and black's remaining time?

There are many other things that could be improved....
