Thanks Michael, I still have a question/comment inline.

OK thanks. I am not sure to get your last point about order of delivery. You seem to refer to the SCTP endpoint behaviors (section 6.6) that unordered messages a) could bypass the in-order messages in the outbound transmission queue and b) must be delivered before in-order messages on the receiver side.

But then the DATA_CHANNEL_OPEN message should be sent 'unordered'. Otherwise this situation could occur: the sender app sends DATA_CHANNEL_OPEN 'in-order' and then immediately many 'unordered' messages. Those messages would all bypass the transmission of the DATA_CHANNEL_OPEN message.
