If people are uncomfortable with the heuristic, we could eliminate it by saying. - pure counter updates are not duplicate acks, as an extension to the 5681 definition, and - A receiver that gets both an OOO packet (which might be CE marked) and one or more CE-marked ACKs must send *two* acks; one that updates the counter and one that does not. The one that does not is unambiguously a duplicate ack. I don't think this is necessary, but it would resolve the problem.
