Plain-Text Body

Thanks for all the responses, particularly Mo's detailed response.

I think we should move forward with the bitfield approach in #1618.

I don't love that both Subgroup ID and Priority are ways of prioritizing Objects within a Group. At some point we agreed that priority should only be a single byte. However, with Subgroup ID as well as priority, we now have a huge space. In practice, it probably doesn't matter, and I'm just overthinking this. But it seems like there should be a way to simplify this part of the Object model without restricting any real-world usecases.

Thanks, Ian
