Maybe...  FC-GS provides for no restrictions on format or content.
Most initiator/target implementations I've seen have common items such
as Manufacturer, Part ID, and driver/firmware version in the field.
It might be useful (at least from a initiator perspective) within a
virtualized environment to allow for information to be added to the
SNN field, e.g. container id, DOM #, or some Virtual OS metadata.

Mike, James, Eric, any thoughts?
