Scott,
Could you shed some light about the reasons behind this.
Are we talking about the same thing or are we just using a word with two
different meanings?

SUBJECT
SEARCH there seems to be a misunderstanding somewhere - I was
trying to say
nicely that a IPS protocol that has to have profiles
would not pass
the IESG but I guess I was too nice -
IPS HOME
I expect that teh IESG would return any such proposal to
the WG for
rework if such a proposal makes it to the IESG
i.e the discussion in the followintg posting is not a
productive path
to be following

Just noticed that we did not include descriptions for
the
columns in the spreadsheet. Here they are:
1st column - Section number of an internet-draft version
of this spreadsheet, which we will generate if needed.
2nd column - Category; we divided up the different
features
into some categories that made sense to us. The first
set
is common to all iSCSI implementations; the second and
third
are for those features that apply just to targets or
initiators.
3rd column - Feature; short description of each feature.
4th column - Reference; a reference to the section
number of the
iSCSI document that best describes the feature and its
status.
5th column - Status.
M = Mandatory
O = Optional
R = Recommended (we have none of these now)
X = Prohibited (we have none of these, either)
If numbers appear after the status, e.g. M:4.5, it
means that
the feature is mandatory if the feature numbered 4.5
is
implemented. I just noticed that some of our numbers
had changed,
so a few of these might still be typos.
6th column - Value. This is used if the feature is more
than just
a check box; for instance, if an implementation supports
"Data Digest - Other",
it is used to indicate some reference to what "other"
means.
Hope this helps,
Mark
