Thanks, that helps to make sense of it.   What do you think about the  
idea of just grouping the URI in with the boot parameters?   Also, you  
said that the client might need more than one bootfile, but the  
current draft doesn't provide any way to differentiate, unless it's in  
the bootfile parameters.  Consequently, I understood that the various  
different bootfile parameters were options to try, not files to be  
loaded in sequence.
