  In sas-r00a.pdf clause 7.13.6.7.1 SSP_T1:Transmit state description states
  
  "On an indication that a SOF/frame/EOF is to be transmitted the transmit 
state shall transmit an SOF in the dword before the first dword of the frame 
and an EOF in first dword after the last dword of the frame. If during the 
transmission of a frame an indication that a primitive is to be transmitted 
occurs the transmit state may transmit the indicated primitive by inserting 
the primitive between the frames  dwords."
  
  If the receiving device gets a primitive immediately after an SOF or 
immediately before an EOF, is it supposed to indicate a protocol error to 
the port layer?  Or should the primitive(s) just be processed as usual and 
the frame accepted?
  
  thank you,
