We would need to ask whether *each* of the changes proposed is something
we agree to be standard.

As I already noted, and Wes reiterated, there are other reasons for not
doing this in the context of this doc - esp. because some of these
changes really ought to be considered in the context of all transports,
not just TCP, where others are specific to TCP.

If we want to go back and split these out, that's a way forward.
However, publishing this as informational doesn't preclude that as a
separate path
