@nibanks: The current spec would not cause an ack to be triggered if non-ack-eliciting packets are received out of order. I think that's important. If the packet that was lost was another ack-only packet, this would cause unnecessary acks, and doing this at both ends could cause a minor ack storm.

@marten-seemann: out-of-order is defined in the draft above. I think it's less than ideal, but it's not ambiguous.

@rpaulo: I've rephrased the ECN section just a bit to be clearer. Does that help?
