BTW, the idea that a reader could be told to function autonomously, 
delivering its data directly to a set of consumers without dependence 
on a third-party controller is not even touched upon by ALE, since 
ALE is an interface between higher level applications and middleware. 
It is true that this interface may be available (at some point in the 
future) on a smart reader, but I think that this same type of 
autonomous operation would also be valuable for basic readers that 
only implement the lower-level reader control protocol (the RP level 
in the EPC Global architecture).
