I agree with Kevin that we should avoid duplicating an existing op code for
the new Security Protocol In and Security Protocol Out commands, as the
intent was to make these commands potentially available for all device types.
 Is a different op code available for the Security Protocol Out command?

Subject: Security Protocol Out/Request volume Element Address
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,
