Hi,

"""
In addition, when a data server is returning a
   READ4reshole structure, it should still contain the offset and length
   of the next allocated block in the file, even if that block is not
   located on that particular data server.
"""

I had the impression that there could be valid pnfs implementations for which this might be an onerous requirement.  Is that not the case?
