On TD26 - Fast TCS and M/S negotiation in H.323v4

Paul,

I can see that from the words you can deduce that fastConnect and H.245  can
be present in the same reply, but are we sure that that is the intent of the
authors, and also how implementors will read it?

Also, it would be interesting to know whether the restrictions were in the
original text or placed in later.  If they were put in later, the text may
well be fudged somewhat in its accuracy, as quite often such fixes are put
in in panic and not so well thought through.

Pete.
