Register mode is an extension of address mode. You literally cannot
have register mode without address mode, as a write to the short
address in register mode is an identical sequence to an address mode
write. But register mode only allows you to change a few things, not
all the various CVs. There are some older register-mode-required
decoders still being sold, mostly from MRC and Wangrow. And a _lot_
of people have them!

It's been so long since I thought about this stuff I've probably got
it wrong. The two really old (pre-DCC standard!) Lenz decoders I have
installed in the boxcab (#36) and the MDC Consolidation (#32) probably
do not have more than one programming mode. IIRC you poked at them one
evening to add to the list. FWIW.
