Just to be clear, this is actually talking about ENO, and not EDO, 
correct?  (I'm assuming a repeated typo in your message)

SYN data with EDO does not need any special discussion, because EDO only 
alters DO semantics for later (non-SYN) segments.  So, how a stack deals 
with data on SYN is un-related to EDO (but more critical for ENO).
