Hi Steven,

On a technical basis, thank you for your summary.  I think it's important to 
recall and contrast theory and practice when examining complex issues.

Recalling my own experience with protocol successes and failures, I am 
reminded of how important products are to protocols.  The protocols I've seen 
succeed are usually modest in scope, and tend to converge around a reasonable 
theory (the spec) and actual practice (the products).

In my humble opinion, any addition of complexity to the iSCSI protocol will 
affect the practice, and perhaps the ultimate success of the protocol in the 
market.  

If the Adaptec proposal has a compelling strength, it that it exists and 
could be implemented by engineers that are not brain surgeons.
