_Subject: Re: SCSI-3/SCSI-2 Definition Proposal

I have only glanced at Hamm's document. The glance was enough to tell that I 
have major problems with it. I have not decided if it is appropriate to spend 
the time to address the details.

The first obstacle is that it seems to be written without regard to the fact 
that SCSI-3 is a family of layered standards which can be mixed and matched 
among themselves and other standards. Many of the services are artifacts of 
layered standards and do not necessarily have any one to one correlation with 
actual implementations which do not need to emulate the artificial divisions 
between layered standards.

Consequently some of the definitions in the proposal are not applicable but are 
objectionable. My preference would be to not address the proposal at all.
