OK, we've reached understanding on the NON_PROBING_WAIT/NON_PARTIAL_TIMEOUT
issue. Thank you for the edit.

I also now understand that essentially every connection will have a Q-block
exchange using CON. As this is an integral part of the protocol, I don't
believe it's sufficient for Sec 7.1 to declare congestion control
parameters out of scope, unless there's a normative reference to some other
draft that explains how to do it.

Thanks
Martin
