    Strictly speaking, the TCP Max Seg Size option does not say anything
about IP -- it just says the largest size the remote TCP will accept.
We assume the TCP won't exceed the local max IP datagram size, but
it legitimately can.

    This is a real nit -- so unless anyone else in uncomfortable,  I'd
leave this text as is (you do say "may communicate").
