What I am wondering is if the IR remote uses the same byte/inverse byte
format as the RCX message scheme...


Yes, it appears to use the same packet level formatting.  It does use a
new bytecode (0xd2) that isn't seen elsewhere.  This bytecode needs two
bytes of data to follow.  These three bytes of "payload" are encoded the
usual way with a three byte header for packet sync, then each payload byte
followed by its complement, and lastly a checksum and complement.

I appears to stream out these packets continuously as long as the
button(s) are held down.  These packets are unconfirmed - no response back
from the RCX.

Note that the remote uses this special bytecode even when activating a
function (such as sending RCX message 1) that has an alternate bytecode.

(...) Dave, It is basically just exactly what you describe. It usually takes about 200us or so to "see" the incoming 38KHz signal, common I suppose for an integrator to react to the signal getting through the band-pass filter, then a Schmidt trigger (...)
