Issue 1633:  Paragraph 19, section 15.8.4.2 (sec-rev)
Source:  (, )
Nature:  Clarification
Severity:  Minor
Summary: Summary: Paragraph 19 of section 15.8.4.2 says:
 
 "In this example if mechanism “mech 1” is used the target security name is “MBn1”
 while the association must use integrity replay and misordering options. If mechanism
 “mech 2” is used no mechanism specific security name has been specified and so
 “Manchester branch” is used as the security name. The association options are
 EstablishTrustInClient and Integrity."
 
 The last sentence seems to imply that if "mech 2" is used the top-level 
 association options, and not the association options for "mech 2" are used.
 If this is always the case, then it would seem pointless to bother 
 specifying association options for "mech 2" because they will never be 
 used.  If this is the case (which would also be very strange) only when 
 a tag_sec_name is not present for "mech 2" this should be explained 
 more clearly.

full_desc: Paragraph 19 of section 15.8.4.2 says:

"In this example if mechanis m is used the target security name i s
while the association must use integrity replay and misordering
options. If mechanis
m is used no mechanism specific security name has been specified and
s
o is used as the security name. The association options are
EstablishTrustInClient and Integrity."

The last sentence seems to imply that if "mech 2" is used the
top-level 
association options, and not the association options for "mech 2" are
used.
If this is always the case, then it would seem pointless to bother 
specifying association options for "mech 2" because they will never be

used.  If this is the case (which would also be very strange) only
when 
a tag_sec_name is not present for "mech 2" this should be explained 
more clearly.
