Mallory,

I support the agenda slot at IETF 127 on user- and service-agent asymmetry. The two roles answer to different parties, and the dialog identifiers and correlation primitives carry that difference.

If the chairs allot the slot, I can bring material for it. In the Agent Authorization Envelope (AAE, a signed envelope that carries an agent's authorization and the constraints on it), a delegation chain has to answer who may act for whom at each hop, and the places where a user-agent hop and a service-agent hop need different treatment show up in the records. I will post those cases as bytes.

Lars
