Neither READ (12) nor WRITE (12) in SBC-2 have a "Streaming" bit today.
MMC-4's versions of those commands have that bit.
Does this belong in SBC-2's VERIFY (10) or is it best defined in
MMC-4's VERIFY (10)?
If SBC-2, does that mean its READ (12) and WRITE (12) commands need to
add
a Streaming bit? How about VERIFY (12)? How about READ (16), WRITE
(16),
and VERIFY (16)?
If MMC-4, should I mark that field as "Restricted" rather than
"Reserved"
in SBC-2 so it doesn't get used for something else?
