I certainly agree that the spec does not need to be changed in any way
to accommodate this.  The thought was only that somewhere, perhaps in
an appendix or maybe a separate document, the issue of dealing with
legacy SCSI systems could be deal with so that everyone would do it
the same way and thus be interoperable.  But the spec as written is
fine, and hopefully the operating systems still using the old SCSI
specs will be upgraded in the near future (but there will always be
users running older systems!)
