It's fine to define the messages and their content without the transport mechanism. That's what SASL and GSSAPI do for example. Also fine to put transport stuff in separate rfc's.

I'm not sure if "out of scope" is the best phrase for that. Perhaps
"transport agnostic" is more what you're after. If so, that's a bit
different, and is to an extent covered by saying that the protocol
should be able to be used in both client/server and store-and-forward
contexts (which did seem to be supported earlier on the list).

I think transport agnostic is more to the point - out of scope leaves
a fine swamp to get stuck in later.

cheers!
