Sorry for the last message but it just came to my attention that there's one aspect of the draft that should be made more clear.  The way I read the draft and its predecessor, the support for PADG/C messages and PADQ messages are orthogonal to each other.  That is, if the exchange of PADR/S messages when the session is first established does not include the Credit and Credit Scale TLVs indicating PADG/C support, each side can still send PADQs.  Is this a correct interpretation?  Either way: should this be explicitly called out?
