I have the same idea; the proposal is an attempt to make the API simple without
contradicting the spec. UDP also does not contradict its spec and yet is simple
to program; if the same can be done with DCCP, that would be great.
Thanks for mentioning dccp@ietf.org, have copied message there. If there are no
strong objections, will send patch on Monday.
