Thank you for writing this.

I do agree that the issue raised by Adrian needs to be resolved, however.

1. I support Adrian's DISCUSS.

2. In the Introduction Section: 

> In some situations it may be beneficial for a TCP sender to be more
   conservative than the algorithms detailed in this document allow.
   However, a TCP MUST NOT be more aggressive than the following
   algorithms allow.


s/TCP MUST NOT/TCP sender MUST NOT/

Also this paragraph should probably be moved to a later section, as it is not common practice to include key-worded statements in the Introduction, and certainly not before the paragraph that explains the role of keywords notations.

I notice the file name for the document is draft-paxson-tcpm-rfc2988bis
(not draft-ietf...).  I can't tell from the history or the document writeup,
so may I assume the document was formally adopted as a working group
work item and went through a working group last call?

I support Adrian's discuss.

Sec 6: r/This document requires a TCP to wait/This document requires a TCP *sender* to wait ?

As noted in the SECDIR review there really needs to be a more overt homage to the security considerations in 5681.  Something like the following would suffice:

   Refer to [RFC5681] for TCP congestion control security considerations.
