I think the most salient issue is that because NSIS is
path-coupled, it's possible to message every participating
device along a path without having to know its location, or
its location relative to other devices (this is particularly
a pressing issue when you've got one or more NATs present
in the network, or when trying to locate appropriate tunnel
endpoints).  NSIS provides a signaling *model* that
may or may not be useful.  I'd say that industry did not
find it useful except that other security device signaling models
haven't been implemented and deployed, either, so the issue
appears to be with the general class of solution rather than
with this individual, particular solution.


Getting these questions answered is not a hoop to jump through,
but rather, I think, a very serious issue with the work going
forward.
