As discussed today in the SAS WG meeting, 02-444r0 SAS Interpretation =
of
invalid SAS address has been posted to  <http://www.t10.org/new.htm>
http://www.t10.org/new.htm.

This proposal effectively undoes the vote taken on the last SAS =
protocol
teleconference to use an address of all zeros as "no device attached"
since it makes the ATTACHED DEVICE TYPE field accompany the ATTACHED =
SAS
ADDRESS field everywhere and an ATTACHED DEVICE TYPE of 000b means "no
device attached".
