Seems to me there's plenty of opportunity for flexibility with regards
to codecs. The protocol could be designed to allow for negotiation of
a common codec between two radios - start out with a simple
"universal" codec to get the communication started, and then
optionally switch to a different one.


Yes, that's what's wanted, but the current D-STAR implementation
appears to have no flexibility to do this and there are no version
fields in the frame structure so it can't be made backwards compatible.
The design ought to have had this built in, but seems not to have
considered doing it.
