[Ovmsdev] RFC: Battery status MSG protocol

[Michael Balzer]

Too fast... regarding the class definitions, to achieve readability here 
as well I would then suggest using a 3 letter abbreviation.

...main classes:

     Power                PWR
     Engine                ENG
     Transmission        TRX
     Chassis                CHS
     Body                BDY
     Electrics            ELC

...auxiliary classes?

     Safety                SAF        (Chassis, Body, Electrics)
     Security            SEC        (Power?, Body, Electrics)
     Comfort                CMF        (Chassis, Body, Electrics)
     Entertainment        ENT        (Body, Electrics)
     Communication        COM        (Body, Electrics)


Also I would prefer "-" as a separator over ".".

For my current application (battery pack + cell data), that would result 
in type codes...

     RT-PWR-BattPack
     RT-PWR-BattCell

...or general form

     *-PWR-BattPack
     *-PWR-BattCell

Btw: general purpose codes could be written without "*-" prefix as well? 
That would be...

     PWR-BattPack
     PWR-BattCell

Regards,
Michael
