Pat, I have finally had some time to think hard about this, and on
reviewing my old emails I discover that this initial handshaking
actually is in the current spec after all. Look at section 4.4.6.3:
when a gateway receives a petition for the pseudo-subject identifying
some continuum (as is the case when a new remote gateway starts up and
announces itself -- 4.4.2.1.4), it must send to that petitioning
gateway an assertion of each of its own petitions whose assertion set
includes that gateway. Non-obvious, I agree, but then very little
about RAMS is obvious.<br>
