BUGS

Do not confuse ftam-descriptors with file-descriptors.Unlike file-descriptors which are implemented by the kernel,ftam-descriptors do not work across forks and execs.

The grouping functional unit is always required,even if the file access classes is selected.

Although the security group is implemented,access-control attributes may be read but not changed.

The number of charging, diagnostic, and content types entriespermitted on a given service primitive is limited to a compile-time constant.

Contents types are identified solely by document type name;identification by abstract syntax and/or constrait set name is not supported.
