Re: [tcpm] I-D Action:draft-ietf-tcpm-urgent-data-04.txt

Question re: section 6 of this document -- would it be better to remove some of
the emphasis from SO_OOBINLINE and put it on the "urgent data" part?  For example:

Even though applications SHOULD NOT employ the urgent mechanism, applications
which still decide to do so MUST ensure that all "urgent data" is delivered
inline (e.g. set the SO_OOBINLINE socket option on platforms that support it),
as intended by the IETF specifications.

The above text also probably also makes the suggestion there a bit stronger, for
better or worse.

Best,
