To all intents and purposes, we do have a persistent connection - the opaques 
provide one. Also, an implementation can chose to regard all of the 
GSSNegotiate RPCs received over a particular RX connection as part of a single 
connection establishment. So, I'm not sure that this argument is correct.

My worry about the description of the control flow isn't that it may confuse 
implementors. I'm concerned because it explicitly forbids behaviour that is 
required in order to support some multi-round trip GSSAPI mechanisms. I would 
prefer that we have no description at all rather than what is in the document 
at present.

Cheers,

Simon
