When we were finishing SCP 1.1, we considered different alternative designs and scopes. A majority of the working group members wanted to implement a minimal set of features. Anything beyond what we all agreed was essential, was suggested to be added later after a more thorough analysis. We've had very few comments, questions and requests regarding the SCP so far. The name SCP may be somewhat misleading. A FAST "session" is not a transport session nor anything like it, but rather a light-weight context for encoding and decoding FAST messages. Please refer to the introduction section of the SCP specification. Maybe it is time to re-visit and discuss which features we would like to have. I'd be interested in hearing what you think should be added to SCP.
