Uh, can you clarify since I can't find details on what they preserve. 
The reason I liked the new wording is that the slot is only a small part
of the receiving path.  Almost by definition, the slot is specified as
_part_ of the connection parameter --- it is not the connection
parameter.

Can you think of better wording that would be clearer than what we had?
