    draft 7-90



    Hi, Julian:
    
    It is great to see iSCSI v07-90 out. Reading through the new draft, I
    found some inconsistencies, most of them are related with moving Text out of 
    Login Phase. 
    
    1.in 1.2.3, last paragraph, it says: "Some text command parameters
    are also allowed only in full feature phase (e.g., SendTargets)."  But in
    Appendix D, The "Use" of SendTargets key is defined as "All", which means
    it "can be used in both the login phase and full feature phase".
    
    2.In 4.3, it says" The last response MUST be the Login Response". I
    don't see the necessary for this MUST since the Text response is out of
    Login Phase and all the responses in the Login Phase are Login responses.
    
    3.The last paragraph of clause 5 is meaningless, which says" During
    Full Feature Phase Negotiations the CNxSG field MUST carry the values for
    FullFeaturePhase stage in both the current and next part." CNxSG is only
    used in Login Command & Response, not in Text anymore. The change log for
    draft-07 to draft-08, says "Added the CNxSG field to Text & Login Command
    & Response," also needs to be updated.
    
    4.In the Appendix A, Login Phase Examples, there is no need to
    mention "Instead of the Login R= <response> SecurityContextComplete=yes
    message" since SecurityContextComplete message is not used anymore. 
    
    5.Also in the Login Phase Examples, there is an error in the example
    for SPKM-1. The initiator offers " DataDigest=CRC-32C, none", but the
    target responses as "DataDigest=SPKM". 
    
    6.Clause 2.10.5,Text of Text Command, says "Some basic key=value
    pairs are described in Appendix A and Appendix D." It is better to mention
    Appendix D only since keys in Appendix A are security keys which are used
    in Login Phase only and not for Text Command.
