    Forgot to ask this today. How does one tell remotely if a console light
    is turned on, e.g., some warning light? The only method I can find is
    to look at the light times. If OnTime is nz and OffTime is z, then the
    light is on, supposedly, I think; and v-v, if OnTime is z and OffTime is
    nz, thenthe light is off. We didn't want these properties to be
    writable, as they were spec'ed in the MIB, because no one ever used them
    to blink the lights. But they might be very useful to read if the
    controller manipulates them properly. Anyone have any idea if
    controllers actually do that? If so, do we want perhaps to promote
    these to A or still leave it up to the vendor as B?
