Agreed, and this is what we are trying to do in this thread.
I dont think we are quite there yet though..

the charter reads:

open for discussion for the WG if the TCP header should or should not
be protected).
So, I dont think we can clarify this, since it is up to the WG to figure it out.
So we do still need to figure it out :-)
My personal take is that the main goal of tcpinc is to make the widespread
eavesdropping on plaintext connections harder. So focus the focus should be on
the payload, and interoperability should trump protection against other attacks.
I fully understand that there are different opinions on this, and they are
equally valid. But we need to figure out where the consensus of the WG on this
lies.
