This also leads to another point we need to document - NSA should not  
validate the requestorNSA element.  At the moment OpenDRAC validates that  
the requestorNSA is a valid "nsnetwork" entry in topology.  We are now  
saying that this is not a requirement as previously discussed.  Also, the  
current assumption is that the requestorNSA element can be used to resolve  
to the physical protocol address of the requesting NSA.

So to summarize this discussion:

1. We cannot enforce the requestorNSA to be a valid NSA or NSnetwork entry  
in topology.
2. The requestorNSA element can't be used to resolve to an endpoint address  
unless we introduce a formalized mechanism for all clients of the network  
to also be included in this mechanism.
3. Do we change the requestorNSA to just be an informational field, and  
therefore, do we need it at all?
