The first step toward having a genuine display update protocol is having an
update command queue that is used to send events from the terminal interface to
the display interface.
It would allow us to work on the exact protocol, get some of the data
structures worked out, then turning this in to a network-based protocol would
be much easier.
Also, if we have anything more than one active, overlapping TerminalInterface
(as you would have with Glass Pane support or something similar) the use of
such a queue (or queues) would mean we could simplify the interaction between
the terminal interfaces and the display interfaces. We would gain the capacity
to fire-and-forget.
