Martin already mentioned RMCAT. And I mentioned Wgs wanting to build "lightweight" UDP-based protocols, which are hitting transport issues incl. congestion control all the time.

See these slides (mostly done by Magnus) for some of those issues. We want someone on the IESG who is very familiar with them: http://eggert.org/talks/ietf73-wgchairs-training.pdf
