Its not completely new, its a derivative of the old scheme.  Of the 104 
registers, approximately 5 have been modified, therefore the new scheme 
is 95% compatible with the old one.  Duplicating a 1883 line driver to 
handle a change in 5% of the register space seems less than ideal. 
Particularly considering your previous comments seem to indicate that 
you feel its pretty trivial to handle the quirks associated with the 
changes in this driver.
