I was not on that conference call so I may be missing some important
caveats. Said that, it seems to me that we should not care about the
ways transport protocols are selected as long as we do not have to
support true negotiations. In most cases, protocol selection can be
handled by static configurations (with rules if needed), and should be
out of our current scope.
No need to limit the selection/matching rules; just prohibit
in-protocol negotiations. Let implementations decide what is the right
protocol selection method is.
Yup, feeling was that dynamic transport protocol negotiation adds too
much complexity and might complicate interoperability. Now, whatever
method is chosen for transport protocol mapping, it still must ensure
interoperability, of course.
