Loa, I would make this stronger still - the problem as I understood it
was that "transport" is ambiguous (in the world of iSCSI), so even in
the presence of "strong and explicitly stated reasons" to call SCSI
transport "transport", more IETF reviewers will be confused than
enlightened.
I'd go for a requirement for Internet terminology - SCSI transport
would always be qualified, in this case.

Ran,
would agree to this, and put even stronger
"... Internet RFCs the normal Inernet terminology SHOULD be
used, unless
there
are very stong and explicitly stated reasons not to ..."
it should als be that the I* have a guiding role in this

Per SCSI Architecture Model (SAM-2, SAM-3), iSCSI is very clearly
a "SCSI transport protocol" (as opposed to a SCSI
application layer
protocol).
Parallel SCSI, Fibre Channel etc. are all "SCSI
transports" per SCSI
conventions.
That is all the critiqued abstract is trying to describe.
In the context of an *Internet* RFC, it seems sensible to
use the normal
Internet terminology -- unless one very very clearly
indicates that a
term is being used in some different semantic. One might
postulate that
the document's editors and RFC-Editor could work out a
mutually agreeable
editorial change here to add clarity.
