I disagree with this reading of the RFC.  The RFC explicitly allows the sender 
to calculate X as if every packet had size 's = MSS'.  As usual, the 
implementation can then implement any simplifications such an assumption would 
allow.  An implementation that assumes 's = MSS' can therefore calculate a 
sending rate in packets per second.
