  and other DDS implementations, the first element of representation.value of
  DataWriterQos must be set to DDS::XCDR_DATA_REPRESENTATION or the
  non-OpenDDS 3.16 DataReader must be set up with
  DDS::XCDR2_DATA_REPRESENTATION if supported. DataReaders will continue to
  be interoperable by default.
