iSER Specification login/text operational keys

Hello all,

Sections 8.1 and 8.6 of the iSER specification state that if 
RDMAExtensions is negotiated to Yes on the leading connection of a 
session, then HeaderDigest,DataDigests, OFMarker and IFMarker, if they are 
negotiated, must be negotiated to None/No.

In Section 5.3, points 2 and 8 say that the keys HeaderDigest,DataDigests, 
OFMarker and IFMarker MUST be negotiated to None/No.

Does this mean that these keys must be offered for negotiation when 
RDMAExtensions=Yes, even if they simply select the value None? (Since 
these keys are off by default, negotiation is not required to arrive at 
the result None/No. )

Does similar reasoning apply to InitiatorRecvDataSegmentLength and 
TargetRecvDataSegmentLength?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
