<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>From an AMS node point-of-view, there are two incoming MPDUs
that tell it to reset to an ‘unregistered’ condition:</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> You-are-dead</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I have found it difficult to determine (with confidence) whether
those MPDUs *<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>always</span></b>* cause the
reset, or are context-dependent. For example, suppose a node receives a ‘you-are-dead’
but has not sent a ‘reconnect’? (My interpretation says “ignore
it”) Conversely, suppose a node sends a ‘reconnect’
and then receives an ‘i-am-stopping’ (with its own node-id)?
(My interpretation says “reset to unregistered condition”).</span></font></p>

tighten up the spec.</span></font></p>
