Take the logout command. If the host doesn't set the notify bit, the target
could choose not to return a status. Hmm... Did the "failed" status get
lost, or was it not sent....
I don't think any driver writer will every code Management commands without
the notify bit set to one. In fact, I would prefer to mandate it.
I would like to propose that SBP-2 require that the notify bit be set to one
for all management commands.>>
I think I support your proposal but will none the less invoke the two-week
rule. I suggest that your change be submitted as a ballot comment when John
conducts the letter ballot to forward SBP-2 for its first public review.
