Instead of repeating this with every message, we should clarify this in 
the section "Message Data Types".

I had always assumed that a type designation like Int16 or Int32 is 
signed, because of how they look like C types.  But on the other hand, 
the POSIX functions to convert between host and network order only deal 
with unsigned types.  So it's not obvious either way.
