Please make them consistent. Actually, that's deliberate. Upper case versions of these and other terms express requirements, recommendations, and options for interoperability and the like and are defined in RFC 2119 (see statement on p.3 of the iSCSI draft). Lower case versions of these terms may be used, but do not have the RFC 2119 meanings and implications of the upper case terms. The decision to use upper case vs. lower case is a deliberate decision about whether this is an interoperability issue or one of similar import/impact - in particular RFC 2119 advises that these upper case terms "be used with care and sparingly". --David --------------------------------------------------- David L.
