Just as an FYI, some folks are interest in looking into using
NSIS for various things, like QoS, NAT, & firewall traversal,
and so forth.  For these cases, what parameters NSIS signals
are very much service/application specific.  This is also
true with regards to Context Transfer.  

What I suggest is that NSIS and CT progress, and since there
is some overlap in the interest of both groups, we can
try to ensure that whatever solutions we work on do not
cause trouble for the different working groups.  However,
I don't support tightly coupling the solutions.  A much
better way would be that after CT & NSIS work is well
along, someone could make an applicability document of
combining both NSIS & CT  into a solution for 
particular deployments.

John
