Whether to report failure of one or more of the storage protocol elements as a failure of the protocol is at the discretion of the performing system. The performing system may, additionally or as a fallback, have configured behaviors to store output objects to a default destination or retain them locally.

Similarly, whether the need to complete and record performed storage protocol elements merits delaying the creation of the Performed Protocol objects in which that would be recorded is left to the discretion of the implementation.

Further, there is no intention to record instance storage events that occur beyond those immediately associated with the initial acquisition and reconstruction of the study data.
