Bob,
My main argument is that the Init is the beginning of a Z39.50 Session.
Without Init, the idea of a session disappears. Correct?
If no session, then no search history, no Result Sets, no Present. Correct?
If you take all this away, you take the heart out of Z39.50 (sniff).

If you want a simple Internet search (in Z39.50 terms: Search with Piggy
back), then why don't you take what you want from z39.50 and put it in a new
protocol?
Let's call it Z39 Lite.

It seems to me that you are only interested in the Attribute Set
architecture.
