Thanks for the clarification, Rob. Please CC: the SBP-3 reflector if it was 
one of the recipients of the messages.

Is "device" defined, in the context of initiator and target? My 
recollection is that SAM-2 uses device in the context of "device server". 
This does not seem to be what is meant when "initiator device" (or even 
"target device") is used. I think another term would avoid confusion, but 
in any event I need to consult a formal definition of "device" before I 
comment further. Can you refer me to one?
