SCTP [1] is supposed to be fixing a lot of these issues. Support for it is already available in the main *nixes, there is also a user space library. Even Vista is going to support it! [2]
It might make sense in rfc3920bis to make a small note that SCTP can be used as a 'drop in' replacement for TCP as long as both hosts supports it.
