@ianswett : My suggestion is to note that variance is not included in the time-threshold measurement, and that implementers MAY experiment with it as well (in addition to the others). 

I don't think the long list of RTT measurements on this issue are making the necessary point -- high RTT variability has nothing to do with reordering. That said, it's definitely possible for a network to have high variability _and_ reordering. They don't need to be correlated, they just need to happen together.
