They are also usually undocumented. This means that the manufacturer
could remove the codes with a new firmware release or a later revision
of the same model, without affecting operation with the included
remote. Harmony is avoiding possible support problems by defaulting to
codes that are almost certainly guaranteed to work (because they're
the ones the original remote uses).
