Reiner,
	this document is trying to ensure that someone who wants to
implement TCP *as it is currently defined* can do so from RFCs - this
part of the TCP spec had never been documented in RFCs (though it had been
elsewhere and in lots of code)

	It is proposed standard because it defines what the current
IETF standard is for this function

	Proposals for changes to the way TCP works for the future 
can be considered on their own merits in the future.

Scott
