An independant protocol that is agnostic to the transport medium would
probably be too general to be optimal in any specific transport environment.
I think the solution is to make SCSI truely independant of the transport
(strictly layered on top of the transport).  It seems that T10 is realizing
this and some are working towards that goal.

IMHO, requiring that iSCSI match other transport formats is going at the
problem from the wrong end.
