I believe that taking advantage of such a provision would result in a
violation of RFC-3168, as seen by a server supporting that specification
but not AccECN.

If I happen to be wrong about that, could you explain how the server gets
to know that the connection has reverted to Not-ECT mode after sending a
SYN-ACK confirming RFC-3168 support in response to a valid RFC-3168 SYN?
