[reproduced from section 9.1 of -04:]

Alternate names:
   GIST: General Internet Signaling Transport
   GIMPS: General Internet Messaging Protocol for Signaling
   LUMPS: Lightweight Universal Messaging for Path
associated Signaling

There is a danger of some ambiguity as to whether the
protocol name refers to the complete transport stack below
the signaling applications, or only to the additional
protocol functionality above the standard transport
protocols (UDP, TCP etc.) The NSIS framework uses the term
NTLP for the first, but this specification uses the
GIST/variants names for the second (see Figure 2 in Section
3.1).  In other words, this specification proposes to meet
the requirements for NTLP functionality by layering
GIMPS/...  over existing standard transport protocols.  It
isn't clear if additional terminological surgery is needed
to make this clearer.
