DISCUSS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for a well-written document and also for considering other protocols
like SCTP. I've put in a discuss because I would really like have a quick
discussion here to double-check that we do the right thing, however, it might
well be that we can resolve this discuss without any changes. My question is:
given the model is designed to be generic enough to incorporate other transport
protocols, I'm wondering if it would be possible to also define the timers you
have there in a more generic way such that they can be re-used for other
protocols (maybe just changing the name and adding some explanation text).

As a side node: I myself have been working on a model for a
protocol-independent state machine a bit (see draft-trammell-plus-statefulness;
now expired); maybe that's a helpful reference to have a quick look at…
