During the SAT teleconference today, Kevin Marks pointed out that SPC-3
7.6.4.11.1 requires that each logical unit report a device name using
one of these identifier types: 2h (EUI-64-based), 3h (NAA), or 8h (SCSI
name string).  (that rule was introduced by 02-419, starting with
02-419r4)

SAT can do this, but needs to use the type 1h ("T10 vendor
identification") format in some environments because it is not going to
have the tools to create a 2h, 3h, or 8h identifier (see 04-218r6).

So, I propose (as a letter ballot comment) that SPC-3 add type 1h to the
list, and include a "should be 2h, 3h, or 8h" rule as is done in
7.6.4.11.3 for logical unit names.
