I just noticed that the new Security Protocol Out command collides with the op code for an SMC device (Request Volume Element Address).  I thought a free op code was requested.  This means that Automation devices will never be able to use any of the security protocols.  I think this is a bad idea.  I don't know where how all the library vendors missed this.  Can this be changed?

Thanks,
