ECN support was developed with Dave Taht so that it does the right
thing with CAKE and such. He's CC'd, so that he can fill in details,
and sure, we can write these up. As well, I can add the rationale for
the handshake-packet-specific DSCP value to the paper in the next few
days; thanks for pointing out these documentation oversights.
