One of the contrasts I think I see between MMC and
SBC is that SBC explicitly reserves a number of ops
for vendor-specific purposes ... while MMC quietly
does not. Is that contrast truly there, or have I
just not yet studied MMC deeply enough? Is this
contrast intentional? Is MMC intentionally
incomplete in this way?
Cluelessly, curiously, thankfully yours, Pat LaVarre

BD were "M = Mandatory", before "profile"s and
"feature"s gave us so many different flavours of
mandatory.
But some of the html that links that txt into the
web says:

P.P.S.
I've thought about this question before, but I don't
think I asked it, did I? Negatives are hard to
prove.
