Yes, I realize that it could cause trouble.  But, do
you think that it might help lag so much that it is
worth the trouble?

I think maybe we should vote on this.  I do not like
the idea. I think that it will lead to cheating, or
someother security problem.

Why do you have the Object::ID in there?  Other than
that I understand the data, but how do you plan to
handle more than 1 Action, and be able to cancel a
Task?

It would be very annoying to send a Task that details
the process of making a sword with a forge, and find
that your character cannot stop making it and run away
when an army of dragons attack.

The way I'm thinking of doing, a Task is cancellable,
but the client cannot send a list of Actions.  He only
sends one action such as the move example I posted earlier.
