Jon> Yesterday was one of those days - word blindness  translated "the Call
Home DOTS server initiates a TLS connection to the Call Home DOTS client."
as a separate action to  "the Call Home DOTS client initiates a TLS
connection to the Call Home DOTS server.".  The actual text is correct.

Jon> No.  It was my mis-reading of the text that caused this confusion.
