Re: Issue: Why should not there be a relationship among ports in a Service?

I added the following issue:

    <issue id="issue-intra-port-relationship">
      <head>Should intra-port relationships be allowed?</head>
      The above restrictions seems to be unnecessary. What is the
      justification?
      <source>Prasad Yendluri</source>
    </issue>

(This appears right below the restriction that Prasad was referring to.)

Sanjiva.
