3. Purpose
We expect ASAs to be written by a wide variety of programmers. Many will not be protocol experts (depending on the autonomic function concerned).
They are not expected to be GRASP experts. An API description will not be enough.
This document is intended to guide ASA writers on the general design of their code. 3
