I haven't seen it documented anywhere before this message. Anyway, I agree with Andrew's argument that some parameters are not necessarily tied to the remote protocol. With that argument in mind, the remoteXXXX's cause a little confusion ("remote target" vs. "remote target that uses the remote protocol" -- "remote" seems to be overloaded). Serial and parallel sound nice. What if we have some things that can apply to any "remote" (non-native) target and is not specific to the communication link. (I am trying to think of an example -- the name of a log file, perhaps? Can you think of some other one?).
