I recently updated draft-ietf-dccp-simul-open to rev-03. This
implemented a set of changes that I hope significantly improve
readability. These changes did not intend to modify the protocol (but
added clarity in some places). The update crossed with some comments
from Dan Wing (in the previous email) - this will result in a re-write
of the security considerations.
I believe this revision is now much easier to read and is ready for
further review (thanks for reviews so far). I'll incorporate Dan's
requests and any other comments received over the next week into another
rev., and then intend to ask for a WGLC.

This draft is a work item of the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol Working
Group of the IETF.
Title : DCCP Simultaneous-Open Technique to Facilitate
NAT/Middlebox Traversal
Author(s) : G. Fairhurst

This document specifies an update to the Datagram Congestion Control
Protocol (DCCP), a connection-oriented and datagram-based transport
protocol. The update adds support for the DCCP-Listen packet. This
assists DCCP applications to communicate through middleboxes (e.g. a
DCCP server behind a firewall, or Network Address Port Translators),
where establishing necessary middlebox state requires peering
endpoints to initiate communication in a near-simultaneous manner.
