RFC-Editor, please add the following text after the Abstract:

      Statement of Intent:
This specification contains an optional addition to Explicit Congestion Notification (RFC 3168) improving its robustness against malicious or accidental concealment of marked packets. It has not been deployed widely. One goal of publication as an Experimental RFC is to be prudent, and encourage use and deployment prior to publication in the standards track. Another
consideration is to give time for firewall developers to accept and recognize the pattern presented by the nonce. It is the intent of the Transport Area to re-submit this specification as an IETF Proposed Standard in future after more experience has been gained.

RFC-Editor, please also expand the acronyms in the abstract on first appearance:

This document passed IESG as Experimental with intention to be Proposed Standard later - there was a debate about going PS (having a different Last Call) but there were substantial concerns.  Bellovin is developing contacts in the firewall world to learn what we need to do to alert the community about the nonce bit so we can prepare for standardization of this in the coming year.  The approval was 2003-Feb-06.  The document lacks its Statement of Intent so it needs this as an RFC Editor note.
