Sure, there are any number of things that are not (yet!) defined. I
still don't think that's a good way to do software architecture. We
didn't _need_ to support MLO for P2P, but in software architecture,
handling everything as the currently supported special cases mostly ends
up hurting in my experience.

And Vinay was just also asking for a 6G support flag. Am I supposed to
believe NAN operation there is only unsynchronised, or how does that
match?

We can still represent it that way ("scan bands"?) and just forbid
certain values, that's not really much of an argument either?
