Re: [Isms] wg last call followup - sshtm openSession

["tom.petch" <cfinss at dial.pipex.com>]

Not sure if this is editorial, I suspect not.

sshtm openSession used to be

   openSession(
   IN   destTransportAddress     -- transport address to be used
   IN   tmSecurityName             -- on behalf of this principal
   IN   maxMessageSize           -- of the sending SNMP entity
    )

and is now

   openSession(
   IN   tmStateReference       -- transport information to be used
   OUT  tmStateReference       -- transport information to be used
   IN   maxMessageSize           -- of the sending SNMP entity
    )

Why the change? That OUT parameter looks strange to me.
