I followed up with Ron on this a bit off-list to try to understand the goal of the E (or P) bit. (My understanding was clealry not a show stopper for advancing the draft.) After some explanation, I asked the following question (Ron suggested I send it to the list.)

It seems you are trying to provide clarity for the neither F nor S case?
If one had a pure bridge, with IP control, that supported this probe mechanism, couldn't you get the same "neither F nor S" answer? Or an ATM switch, or ...?

Yours,
