Well actually, my position is that SendTargets responses should be allowed
to include everything that you know about your own implementation, which may
include other TCP/IP addresses (aggregation tags included), and other target
names that your implementation exports.

If you allow this behavior, how do you preclude "targets reporting
information about other targets"?  How do you distinguish the two cases?
