you raise an interesting point.

keith and/or pete may have a different perspective on this.

i would say that the peer acting the listening role would be considered 
as the peer acting in the server role for channel zero. (although i 
agree that the specification doesn't clearly spell this out.)

a related ambiguity is how to handle a simultaneous close on channel 
zero!
