Ok, thanks Patrick.

May i propose the following text so we capture this:

---
The TLV structure we have today for transporting data defines a
16 bit length which makes atomic objects larger than 64KB not
transportable. 
The protocol goes to great length to ensure one can transport
(sub)objects at very granular level by using paths, and there are no
known use cases at this point of objects which can not be decomposed to
less than 64K limit. So this revision of the protocol will not address 
the issue since it is a corner case.

Avri, whats a good place to add this?

cheers,
