It's not unsolicited.  You sent a command.  I do not think that its
completely possible to separate the protocol commands from any
application data level interaction.  You NEED the capability
information.  And I think in ALL cases, it will be the very next thing
you NEED.

Indirectly you did send application data - the UPN as a result
of a successful authentication. Its just not done in a V[...]
component.

Lets save some round trip time for low bandwidth connections.
