Agree MSS is problematic at present without PMTU.
I guess I don't understand why using MSS is problematic for congestion control; since assuming that s=MSS causes s to drop out of all congestion control equations, returning them to packet-based CC. One could therefore set "s=ANY_ARBITRARY_VALUE" and get the same result. Ah, well! Yes, providing lots of options is harder for users than providing the one right answer, but we just don't know what that right answer is. It will be interesting to see how the moving-average patch actually behaves in practice; the Internet has much more experience with s=MSS/packet-based CC.
