Here is the list of open semantics issues:

- Further elaborate section on security considerations.
  Some text was added in the latest version, about the use
  of security credentials and possible threats due to wildcarding.

- Shall the agent be able to specify parameters for protection
against denial of service attacks? Examples are
 - maximum total number of TCP connection setups allowed
 - maximum number of TCP connection setups per minute
 - maximum number of UDP packets per minute
 - maximum bit rate
 
 Generally a good idea, but this may be to much, since the application
 level gateway is sometimes not aware of these facts.
