Michael,

Both min and max are in flux (the 1.0 release will probably have 1 (or
10?).
They where meant for the initiator parties to indicate the range it
supports and the target select (probably the highest).
However if an initiator gives out a range and the target selects a number
that is not the highest - it may do so (like when it wants to expose a new
and unstable version only to those initiators that do not support an older
version).

Julian,

     I have a question about Version-Max and Version-Min in the Login
     Request PDU.  The way I understand it is that

     Spec                      Max                        Min
     <= .6                        1                           1
     .6, .8                        2                           <= 2
     >= .9                       3                           <= 3

     But I have had discussions with others that indicate that Version-Max
     should still be 1 since the spec does not specify it.  Their argument
     is that the version information is specified in the version-min
     section of the spec only.

     Please clarify.  Thank you,
