Hi Shabtay,

> [Shabtay] I'd like to see this EOT meaning end of transaction.

The problem with using the term transaction the way you suggest is
that it is too restrictive.  The EOM flag is optional.  You do not
need to use it.  Some transactors may deal with fixed-size
transactions and have a one-to-one correspondence between element
and transaction.  Others may have variable length transactions, but
may want to use a different mechanism than EOM for transaction
delineation.  Some applications of the pipes may not even consider
what they transport over these pipes transactions at all.

So I think we need avoid using the term transaction.  It is an
application-defined and dependent term.
