Time to start designing low-level Video API?

We have at least 4 video modes in the works, next release will have the spiffy streamer event and the 'resume on interrupt' pseudo-op and Chip gave us the event for detecting when a long is written (mailboxes). I think we have everything in place to start discussing/negotiating/debating/arguing about a standard API to talk to video.

It should be really easy to decide on 255/6 commands that we can build the mailbox long around, right?

Command.data.data.data

How hard can that be, we're all reasonable, agreeable, well-opinionated adults!

It sure would be nice to put the video module in your code, set a mode, give it a buffer address and then just send commands...but we all know this.

Once we have a couple ideas going, we can start up a Google doc for "collaboration".
