The latest rev of the ADI bridging proposal is now available at
ftp://ftp.t10.org/t10/document.03/03-077r3.pdf.
The list of changes includes:

1.  Revised ADC model to change concept of partitioned SMC device server
into two independent device servers with different sets of mandatory
commands.

2.  Banned splitting the Bridging Login IU across multiple frames.

3.  Clarified that the bridging manager may initiate commands to remote
device server while operating in passthrough bridging mode, e.g., to
refresh cached data.

4.  To support caching of inquiry, etc. data by the data transfer device,
an asynchronous notification IU from the automation to the drive is now
defined.

Please send me your comments.

Thanks,
