I don't know about PCI-Express, but I'm just saying the fact that 
they're serial doesn't make them "simple". The USB spec is something 
like 250 pages or so, and that's just for the basics shared by all USB 
devices, like the ability to plug in, be recognised, and sync with the host.

(SONET is what telcos use to put voice and data over fiber, multiplexed. 
It's not simple either. :)
