Neat. I think interested parties should bat it around for improvement.
I'm not in that set at the moment.

In case it comes up in the future, I don't think this needs to be
standardized.  It's basically a SYN cookie variant, and that's
(correctly) not a standard.  I see they're aiming at an informational
RFC now, to which I have no objection.
