I tried to see a bit how to get hold on a synchronization protocol which
would be easy to use, and have been overwhelmed so far by the complexity
of the specifications, and also the implementations I quickly looked at.
I really want something simple enough for me to grasp (you know, I've
short limits!), and would be rather willing and ready to compromise on
the generality or speed, in the sake of simplicity.

So, inventing a protocol is still an avenue which I naively seek, and
for which I dared giving some thought recently, trying to stay on the
side of simplicity.

Sigh!  Yes! :-)
