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.
