[Manet-dt] SMF: Usage of IPv4 Identification field

The SMF ID deviates from RFC791 for the Identification field.

791: "The originating protocol module of an internet datagram sets the
identification field to a value that must be unique for that
source-destination pair and protocol"

SMF: "In the case that resequencing is deemed necessary, it is RECOMMENDED
that sequence numbering be applied such that a different sequence number
space per <sourceAddress::destinationAddress> duple be used"

The difference is the protocol field. I see two options, modify SMF or add
text clarifying the deviation and analyze for consequences. Or are the rules
for Identification changed since 791?
