Konrad's proposition looks indeed promising. However, I'd like to point 
out that this is more than a Cartesian Trajectory. This looks more like 
a goal message to a very sophisticated controller, e.g. whole-body 
motion framework or iTaSC. Shouldn't the Cartesian Trajectory msg be 
somewhat smaller in scope and then be reused? Maybe more like in the 
spirit of std_msgs which are mainly used as building blocks for bigger 
and semantically annotated messages?

Good idea. From now on moving to the REP?
