-1/2.  This is only appropriate in the tunnel view of the underlying
protocol.  In the "Chameleon View" (good name, Stuart), this is not
the case.

Or to put it another way, if your underlying protocol is an
application protocol, then I agree with Marc when he writes
".. only that it supports the semantics required by the
application".  Because that's what an application does; it
defines application semantics.
