I have a question in regards to protocols for bots.  Since there are endless
possibilities for Alice on the processing side how can the natural language
engine appeal to bot designers?  For example:

<pattern>TURN LEFT</pattern>
<template>
    <serial baud="9600" port="1">...data to move something left
direction...</serial>
</template>

Can this be logically applied to controls?
