OK, though I don't recall that decision actually being made. I just want
to make sure folks have thought about this, to ensure that opaque options
for CDI really should be opaque options rather than as part of the core
protocol. My apologies if trying to get the group to move along is causing
me to re-ask questions; point me to the group's decision in the archives
where appropriate.

I'm still concerned at the use of different nounphrases in the two areas.
