There is an argument to be made that since it may be desirable for both IR receivers and transmitters to share the same table of remote control definitions, it might make sense to at least *consider* how the IR transmitter interface is going to work, even if it is decided to not implement such a design in the first revision. Personally, I would hate to see a situation where we find out that we took a bad approach because nobody considered what would be required for IR transmitters to reuse the same remote control definition data.
