The implementation directly affects the values that a session acquire 
though. :-)

That is the scenario I'm addressing. There has been discussion of late 
which has indicated that initiators may have several different vendors 
products (i.e. implementations) installed at once and that it is expected 
that a session may span those multiple implementations. Each of those 
implementations will have its own constraints and limitations. So, you 
either have to adopt the greatest common denominator approach (i.e. limit 
connections to the intersection of all individual feature sets) or you allow 
each connection to conform to the implementation that it resides on.
