+// History (may be apocryphal)
+//
+// Around V2, an HTTP inventory download mechanism was added
+// along with inventory LINK items referencing other inventory
+// items.  As part of this, at login, the entire inventory
+// structure is downloaded 'in the background' using the
+// backgroundFetch()/bulkFetch() methods.  The UDP path can
+// still be used and is found in the 'DEPRECATED OLD CODE'
+// section.
+//
+// The old UDP path implemented a throttle that adapted
+// itself during running.  The mechanism survived info HTTP
+// somewhat but was pinned to poll the HTTP plumbing at
+// 0.5S intervals.  The reasons for this particular value
+// have been lost.  It's possible to switch between UDP
+// and HTTP while this is happening but there may be
+// surprises in what happens in that case.
+//
+// Conversion to llcorehttp reduced the number of connections
+// used but batches more data and queues more requests (but
+// doesn't due pipelining due to libcurl restrictions).  The
+// poll interval above was re-examined and reduced to get
+// inventory into the viewer more quickly.
+//
+// Possible future work:
+//
+// * Don't download the entire heirarchy in one go (which
+//   might have been how V1 worked).  Implications for
+//   links (which may not have a valid target) and search
+//   which would then be missing data.
+//
+// * Review the download rate throttling.  Slow then fast?
+//   Detect bandwidth usage and speed up when it drops?
+//
+// * A lot of calls to notifyObservers().  It looks like
+//   these could be collapsed by maintaining a 'dirty'
+//   bit and there appears to be an attempt to do this.
+//   But it isn't used or is used in a limited fashion.
+//   Are there semanic issues requiring a call after certain
+//   updateItem() calls?
+//
+// * An error on a fetch could be due to one item in the batch.
+//   If the batch were broken up, perhaps more of the inventory
+//   would download.  (Handwave here, not certain this is an
+//   issue in practice.)
+//
+// * Conversion to AISv3.
