Hi,

In draft-ietf-quic-recovery-03 there appear to me to be an overloading 
of the use of the "is_retransmittable" flag. It appears to be used both 
for the purpose to indicate if there is a frame that can and need be 
retransmitted and if that frame should be counted as lost and impact 
congestion control. I think these two purposes should be separated and 
clarified as being two different ones. The reason is that if we create 
extensions that will not require retransmission of frames but needs to 
be included in the congestion control response a significant rewrite 
would be needed. I also think it would clarify things for some of the 
control frames also if they should be included or not, even if not 
regularly retransmitted.

Cheers

Magnus Westerlund
