But, er, you can do exactly the same with a parallel protocol: you just
need to have (multi-bit) clock pulses every n-bits-per-wire and buffer
at both ends, syncing on the clock pulses. Unless the individual lines
get seriously out of sync, you'll win.

This is *old*, obvious stuff, so obviously it's been considered and
rejected. What am I missing?
