Are there any interop issues with this? Implementations keep tab of what is going on in all kind of ways. Many use "ack of ack" mechanisms to notice which ack have been acknowledged by the peer and which ack ranges can be safely pruned. Some do what Mirja described. Some don't care. Please do not try to overspecify this.
