You're using circular arguments: "Because one particular subset of the
RDMA community defines RDMA in fashion X, it is off target to define
RDMA in any other fashion."

One-sided vs. two-sided is important. You've completely left that out.

Well, no matter: we don't need to argue about the defintion of RDMA to
solve the question of what the transport-neutral prefix should be.

I have no doubt that we would never agree about the defintion.

Try "now if *someone* can come up with". How did you like verb_ ?
