description of recovery mechanisms

["Somesh Gupta" <someshg@yahoo.com>]

I hope David and Julian will excuse me for using the following
sentences from the Orlando minutes.

-----------  start of quote -------------------------------

- There will be a significant connection recovery write-up,
	including details, procedures and examples added to the draft.

-----------  end of quote ---------------------------------


As an engineer, I believe that we do need detailed and thorough
description of the usage of all the recovery tools in the
protocol. This ensures

1. Determination that there are no holes. Presence of "holes"
   will lead to the mechanisms not being used (but implemented)

   or determine that there are no holes which will lead
   to testing nightmares.

2. Ensure interoperability among implementations

I hope this does not sound like I am asking Julian to do
my work for me. But it is better hashed out and debated
in one place.

If the rest of the working group does feel that the level of
detail in the spec is enough and the rest is an "exercise
for the reader", I will accept that.

Thanks,
Somesh
