> I read your coap-tcp draft but I missed any text on TCP header size reduction.


(If you mean as in RFC 6846 header compression, this should be orthogonal.)

A reduced CoAP header is defined in the coap-over-websockets draft and I didn't see a need to invent another one, even though I'm not sure I like the version used in coap-over-websockets.  

Clearly, we would like to have a common way of compactifying the CoAP header for the reliable, connection-oriented transports, if we don't decide to stick with the 4-byte header (which is a bit awkward as it's not clear what to put into the message-ID field).

This very moment I'm listening to the MINION talk by Janardhan Iyengar.
I reference MINION as one possible approach for framing in the coap-over-tcp draft.
