I was in a meeting all yesterday so I haven't had a chance to check it yet. I
expect to have an answer later today.

I take it that we are all happy with the current C bit stuff (if it also is
in Login).  I think that is the hand off token.

What do we want to decide?

Bill,

As I mention in the response to John, I would like to see proposed text for
specifying the hand-off.

I think one could approach this by handing back and forth the right to make
negotiation offers and leave to the implementations whether they send empty
text negotiations or responses and declarations when they don't have the
right to make negotiation offers. I think the hand-off should be based on a
bit flag rather than based on whether the last PDU received ended in a
complete key-value pair.

Once people have had a chance to see the proposal, I would like to hear
opinions beyond those of the few people who have been active in this
discussion.

Regards,
Pat
