Subject: Netbios Add_Group_Name_Query handling

Does anyone have answers to the following questions on Netbios 
Add_Group_Name_Query handling?

It appears from the RFC that Add_Group_Name_Query frames are encoded
differently from Netbios Add_Name_Query frames (as DATAFRAMEs rather than
NETBIOS_ANQ) despite the fact that responses to both frame types (Netbios
Add_Name_Responses) must be handled identically by a DLS.

Is this correct?

If so, is the origin DLS expected to maintain local routing information for
DATAFRAME messages of this type to enable local routing of NETBIOS_ANR 
message responses? Are retries of Add_Group_Name_Query frames to be 
propagated or absorbed by the origin DLS?

Or are Add_Group_Name_Query frames intended to be encoded in NETBIOS_ANQ
 messages and handled by a DLS in the same way as Add_Name_Query frames ?
