let's write a draft on deprecating the statement, from RFC 793, that
The TCP must recover from data that is ...
delivered out of order by the internet communication system.
(my feeling :
just like this would actually create a new, incompatible, transport
protocol;
deprecating the fragmentation extension header creates a new, incompatible
to IPv6, network protocol)
Kind regards,
Marc
