I guess the worse case scenario is the NEC protocol:
	http://www.sbprojects.com/knowledge/ir/nec.php

with allows a repeat message to be sent on every 110ms. As the
repeat message is 11.25 ms, that would mean a maximum time without
data for 98.75 ms. So, in thesis, 100 ms would be ok. However, IR
timings are not always precise and may affected by the battery charge.

So, I think that a timeout of 100ms is too close to 98.75 and may
cause troubles.

S, IMHO, it is safer to define the default timeout as 125ms.

Mauro
