Doug, would you clarify for me please?

Do you mean to say:

a) A network transport MUST not exclude certain devices;
b) A network transport SHOULD not exclude certain devices; or
c) Something else.

I think it is perfectly reasonable for iSCSI to profile the SAM features 
required of devices that wish to use iSCSI---and eminently reasonable to 
require such devices to support autosense!
