Suppose we go down path 3, namely to publish both approaches as
different versions of tcpinc.  Is it required that both be published
simultaneously?  If we can just publish each RFC when it is ready, then
there might be incentive for people to work on independent
implementations.

Right now, one problem for anyone considering investing time in tcpcrypt
is that even if we get the draft into great shape, get two independent
implementations, etc., we might still end up stuck waiting for
TCP-use-TLS, which might in turn be stuck waiting for TLS 1.3.

So while having two different RFCs does not seem like the end of the
world, forcing them both to proceed in lockstep may greatly delay
deploying anything.  Would it be possible to decouple progress on the
two protocols by working group consensus?
