Lars, I thought about RFC 1145 "TCP Alternate Checksum Options", there are no
real shortcomings in the RFC. It is not _widely_ deployed but there is no real
security concern like say T/TCP.

I thought only superseded or defective RFCs can be declared historic? I mean
TCP Alternate Checksum Options _can eventually_ useful in the future for
example Interplanetary TCP. Maybe some military sites already employ RFC
1145.
