The one thing that's still slightly unclear is how tmStateReference
cache entry gets created on SSH client side (e.g. command originator).

In particular, Section 5.2, step 1, seems to assume that it always
gets a tmStateReference. But when the Dispatcher on e.g. command
generator (acting as SSH client) calls sendMessage for the first
time, it doesn't have a tmStateReference yet? (Or if it does have
a tmStateReference, where did it come from?)

My guess is that Section 5.2 should say that if tmStateReference is
not present, steps 1..3 are skipped, and instead we create a
tmStateReference cache entry (because we can't call openSession
without having one) and go to step 4 (opening a new session).
