There will be many layer 7 protocols.  It depends on the application.  The
MAP standard will include several:

	FTAM	File Transfer, Access, and Management (from the ISO)
	CASE	Common Application Service Element (from the ISO)
	MMS	Manufacturing Message Service (from the EIA)

More will be defined as the need arises.  Some working groups within ISO,
ANSI, and other organizations are working on virtual terminal protocols,
data base access protocols, job transfer protocols, and you-name-it
protocols.  I hope they don't make them mutually exclusive on a single LAN.
