Work in progress, but.

Spec diff:

Spec HTML with tubes:

http://projects.collabora.co.uk/~daf/spec-tubes.html

Rough summary:

 - removed file transfer interfaces
 - removed IOStream
 - renamed TubeNegotiation to Tubes
 - removed tube interfaces other than Tubes
 - changed "protocol" to "service"
 - made "service" be a bus name for D-Tubes
 - removed tube types other than D-Tube
 - added parameters dict to rubes
 - added ListTubes
 - mention tubes for room handle channels

Tube parameters contain stuff like username/password, or any other stuff you
need to bootstrap.

As per Simon's earlier proposal, the idea is to make the service name for
TCP/UDP tubes be DNS SRV-like names.

Comments please.
