That would make things quite trivial, as you can just assume that the
blocks you send are yours to use again for the next block. However,
I'm not sure how useful such a scheme is. It's sort of weird that you
end up with undefined "value" on some controls, unless they get input
first thing every block. *heh*
Well, they would presumably keep the values from the previous data block.
This sounds quite reasonable, and efficient.
