QoS NSLP flags

Hi,


I've got two questions:
1) would it be good to let any unknown flags intact instead of resetting
   them? Current text says:
   "The set of appropriate flags depends on the particular message being
   processed.  Any bit not defined as a flag for a particular message
   MUST be set to zero on sending and MUST be ignored on receiving."
   If I understand the text correctly, an additional flag cannot pass a
   QNE, or does "set to zero" apply only to the QNI?

2) We suggest that the QUERY gets an additional bit in the message
   flags. Sometimes it might be useful to elicit a RESERVE with the R=1
   bit set (in the RESERVE, i.e., a REPLACE bit) and sometimes not. So
   it would be good to have a bit in a QUERY that provides information
   at the far end on how to the the REPLACE bit in the corresponding
   RESERVE. Does this make sense?

Regards,
