Looks like my "impossible" with respect to the free queue protocol needed to be qualified by "until PLO came along" as long as you have storage to work with for the PLO parameters.
As was pointed out to me, PLO CL and PLO DCS can be used to implement the free queue protocol (and not need the sequence number) I don't think that's the protocol that the OP was going after, however, but I've lost track.
