Gateways

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?

4.2 User agents

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.
