This opinion is in direct conflict with instructions
I have received from T10 to replace "transport protocol"
with "SCSI protocol" throughout.

Parochial or not, unqualified "protocol" is not acceptable
in SCSI and any proposal sent to me with such terminology
will be edited to use different wording.

I strongly recommend that you follow Rob's advice.

Thanks.
