I believe the reason for making pipes and possibly the TLM support API
part of the SCE-MI 2 standard is at least twofold:

  1) Ensure all compliant SCE-MI 2 implementations provide these APIs
     which provide variable length messaging and streaming.

  2) Provide avenues for the implementors to provide transport layer
     optimizations in support of VLM and streaming.

Application layer solutions would not be able to get the benefits
of (2).
