RE: Gateways

User agents may be part of a collaboration platform or a component in a
transaction that may rely on other protocols or services. These user
agents or web services may be a part of a transaction that is receives
or supplies data to/from other protocols and the security context is
expected to secure the entire session regardless if the session is
being handed off to the user agent or initiated by the user agent. 
 
The gateway was just the protocol converter - taking it out

	Bill, I'm confused. I think of a user agent as having a user,
and I dont' think of a geteway as having a user. What am I missing?

	Didn't see this covered.
	
	I feel that user agents may be gateways or interact with
gateways
	to/from http(s) and other secure protocols. A quick sentence to
note
	that security context is expected to secure the entire session
	regardless if the session is being handed off to the user agent
or
	initiated by the user agent.
