Can you elaborate which part of the draft did give you this idea? Reading
the draft I'm not sure from where this idea (Ellipse 2 only) can be derived
since it seems clear that is not the case given the different queries
explained.

Anyway, that does not reflect the merged protocol in its current form since
it can provide all the functionality described (all ellipses) including
negotiation through service descriptors.

Right, but the diagram could have been circulated days before the meeting so
that feedback could be sent and any doubts tackled. A lot of the confusion
on the meeting sparked from that diagram.
