There's no spec compliance issues that I can readily find.  I will make a note 
to fix this, as well as handle the connection established event as Or suggested, 
but it will be a couple of weeks before I get to this.  (I will be attending the 
workshop next week.)

The MAD layer retries the CM messages, typically until the CM cancels the operation.
