Hi Robin,

I don't see it. I describe deficiencies with the protocol where
functionality improperly overlaps. I make no claims in item #1 about
where in the system the problem should be solved or whether tackling
it head on is the best choice.

If you feel that the language is biased towards host-level changes,
I'm open to making small tweaks to remove that bias. What would you
suggest?

Regards,
Bill Herrin
