Sending parsed DL-ID data to CM

When trying to implement reading of DL/ID barcodes we realized a way to pass the information to CM in a machine parsable way was needed.

This document attempts to create a standard so either mobile applications, or hardware imagers can be programmed to send the needed DL/ID information to CM, in a way that is universal and easy to understand.
