I'm curious about the working group status of:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gont-tcpm-tcp-seq-validation-01

It seems quite obvious to me that it should be adopted.

Since this should be fairly quick to take care of, and is one
of the open issues with RFC 793, I'd like to see it adopted,
finished off relatively quickly, and then incorporated into the
793bis work.

To that end, I'll happily contribute reviews or any other support
needed.
