The draft proposes a SYN-time option to notify a MAD value
for the connection.  Would it not be preferable to use
a data-time option, permitting an implementation to track
(from the TCP endpoint's view) the application response time,
adjusting the delayed-ACK timer to suit - and notifying the
peer occasionally?
