The 1988 OSI Remote Operations standard makes it possible to include
user-optional information in the argument field of the BIND and UNBIND
operations.  It can be used to convey credentials or other information
between Application Entities.  It might be used to convey a version
number.  If there are no guidelines for the use of these options, it
would be easy to utilize them in ways that hamstring interoperability.

Has NIST, any other public or private organizations come up with rules
for the use of the ROS BIND/UNBIND arguments or other "user-options"?
If you know/have and answer to my specific or general questions, I
would appreciate your response!

Thanks!
