Re: [tcpm] Is RFC1323bis' title still appropriate?

I have mixed feelings about changing the name of the document, but the original title was from when it also included SACK, which was removed before 1323 was published.  So I guess it makes some sense to clarify the title.

This one.  It sounds less odd if you switch it to “TCP Timestamps and Window Scale options”, but I think we want to keep Timestamps as the second one, given the pushback on it.

But in any case, Options should be capitalized, because this is a document title.
