Yes. The consensus was that covering how to do it is outside the  
cope. We could make something up, but until we do it specifying how  
is a bad idea. Therefore the mechanisms in 101 (e.g. AdcConfigure)  
should be designed such that they do not preclude doing this  
(parameterized  interface rather than platform type) but exactly how  
will be in another TEP.
