Same here. Not asking for a justification (if you feel
it is a mess or other problem, that is quite enough for 
me), just want to understand the issue.

For proper layering, it should of course allways be

   [header, payload]

with the payload having potentially the same format 
if there are more layers below. That is the tradidional 
way to do it. This even has a name, but I do not remember 
it at the moment.

Was the problem confusion/complexity because this 
layering-sheme was violated?
