I would be surprised if there needed to be any updates to DAP to support
Phase V as Phase V doesn't change the programming API in a significant
enough way (if at all) as to require corresponding changes to DAP.
As long as it can make a connection and check connection status, Etc.,
it seems happy enough.?? It doesn't talk to the management layer at all,
as far as I can tell.
There is some Phase II era code, which was put in to allow a kind of
"poor man's" routing.? Now I would guess that it would only be useful
for a non-adjacent node to talk to a DN200.

? What is the last version of DAP (any platform) for which a specification exists?
It appears to be 5.6.0. That's a Phase III era spec, but it is also listed as
current in the Phase IV General Description. And the Phase V General Description mentions
DAP but doesn't give a version number. The Phase V Routing spec has in the preface a
list of the Phase V specs with their order numbers; DAP is not mentioned there. So it
looks like it wasn't touched, which seems plausible. I don't remember any
discussion about it when Phase V was being developed.
