RE: iSCSI-related conclusions from Orlando interim Meeting

Besides there is no way (no SAM defined way) to order task management
functions.
Task management is handled by the task manager while tasks (commands) are
handled by the
device server.

It's CmdSN, not Task Tag.  Santosh's issues appear to be with the Task
Tag, which is not what is being pursued.  Using the Task Tag in this
fashion
would cause all sorts of problems.
