Both GMP and IGS protocol support undo. How many programs actually use it?
What user interface is complete without undo?
Which is more important, to standardize a protocol which implements a complete user interface, or to standardize a protocol which does a good job on the features that programs actually use when interfacing to other programs (including servers and multitool-things like cgoban)?
The answer? BOTH! I say this out of my own needs. I want to build a really cool interface that everyone can use. Can't do it with GMP.
I also maintain that this is still a very small set of commands, we might as well not get stingy and be sorry later.

Of course, I still don't know the answer to my first question. Maybe the number of programs which use the existing 'undo' command is much larger than I realize..
