RE: iSCSI: Questions regarding text parameter 'Reject' and 'Irrel evant' usage

["John Hufferd" <hufferd@us.ibm.com>]

My comments were only addressing Boolean and Irrelevant.  Which has been
discussed in great detail, and what you see is what was agreed.  And these
functions have also been implemented and have been shown to work in many
implementation and shown at the plugfests.  The point of last call is to
bring up items that have not been fully discussed, and resolved.  (You may
want to review the archives to see what was covered on these topics in the
past.)

We need to focus on things that are broken, and editorial fixes.

Ok, I am probably sticking my nose where it doesn't belong but... If there
is a post to the working group in reference to the spec doesn't that
indicate that the spec is ambiguous and should be examined in more detail?
People that start working with iSCSI after the draft phase may have the
same
questions and should be able to find the answer in the spec and not have to
sort through electronic reams of newsgroup posts to determine the
appropriate result.  I know that the spec has to tread a narrow line so as
not to mandate implementation but at the same time the spec has to be clear
enough that someone can come along and make an implementation and be fairly
reassured that their implementation will interoperate with someone else's.

Just my $.02, well more like $1.50.

Lets see if we can avoid rehashing the issues around Boolean values.  This
has been gone over and over on this list, and does not need to be redone in
the last call.  Likewise the issues around Irrelevant.

There may or may not be value around the rest of your statements, but lets
not visit again  Boolean or Irrelevant .
