I haven't read your document (although I'm putting it on my list of
things to look at).  But, I am going to leave this 11 year old piece
of tripe here ...

    https://www.icir.org/mallman/share/draft-allman-tcpx2-hack-00.txt

(At one point I had a student implement this and it isn't all that
difficult and can in fact co-exist with current TCP and largely use
the same code path for both "versions" of TCP.  Alas, it wasn't
properly finished and written up / code released / etc.---which is
clearly my fault.)
