Nope, it is not. But that's the reason it's called a "standard". You
get some good, and some bad with them. Welcome to the real world...
it's probably my lack of knowledge, but I thought it would be possible
to solve this by a TCP option without breaking interoperability. So this
is actually a design decision which can't be corrected without a TCP
replacement (which, I guess, won't happen in the next years)?
