I did consider adding a failure if private data is sent in the MRA, DREP, or 
RTU.  But I first want to know if any current applications are using private 
data for those messages.

There is a subtle issue with the current retransmission mechanism that I 
need to fix that brought this to my attention, and if private data is 
needed, then I will just fix that now as well.
