Re: ASC/ASCQ for implicit termination (was iSCSI - Errata - to 20)

["Mallikarjun C." <cbm@rose.hp.com>]

Julian,

I think there is value in specifying the sense key/ASC/ASCQ 
values in the iSCSI draft itself.  This would be similar to section
10.4.7.2 where we do the same.  

My recollection is that T10 added this new ASC/ASCQ value 
after we were done with crafting this text in iSCSI, section 5 in 
command ordering draft currently is the only place that makes 
the linkage.

Thanks.
