    [iSCSI][Q+RFC] login response, tsid

    From an implementation point of view:
    
    1. TSID is implicitly defined to be an unsigned 16-bit integer.
    
    TSID is only mentioned to be a ``tag'', ``null'', ``0'',
    ``1'', ``2'', ``entity'' and ``component''.
    
    [NDT] defines ISID, but not TSID.
    
    There need to be a definition of what kind of object TSID
    is. _That_ will define the operations which can be performed
    on it, not the other way around.
    
    iSCSIv10, 9.1.2 talks only about TSID namespace segregation,
    while a TSID object's definition is implicit.
    
    A word on TSID generation MAY be mentioned as well.
    
    
    2. Login response PDU, status-class, status-detail.
    
    Wouldn't it be better to use one 16-bit unsigned integer
    for this information, call it ``status''
    
    Then this ``status'' can be _logically_ split into 
    ``class'' (8 MSb) and ``detail'' (8 LSb).
    
    But an implementation (HBA, software, etc) will use
    it as a 16-bit unsigned integer.
    
    Comments?
