Subject: Note from Larry Fisher

The proposal of Larry Fisher makes some problems in an OSI TP
environment.

If the application program should have directly access to the
presentation layer, the program would have to encode the user
data into the transfer syntax respectively decode it from the
transfer syntax. Therefore the program must know the used    
transfer syntaxes.

In addition the CRM must know the abstract syntaxes used
on the TP-DATA-req. Therefore the program must have a possibility
to give the used transfer syntax to the CRM via the CPI-C.

Consequently we need two map names for this solution,
one for the abstract syntax and one for the transfer syntax.
The CPI-C would become more complicated.

So I prefer Jeff's solution with only one map name and
encoding and decoding by the CPI-C provider.
