FWIW, this document includes text that somewhat defeats the previous recommendations of TCPM regarding RFC5927.

RFC5927 includes specific text indicating that the techniques described are being documented, but that the TCP standard was NOT being changed to include those ICMP validation checks.

This document states that:

      Many implementations fail to perform validation checks on the
      received ICMPv6 error messages, as recommended in Section 5.2 of
      [RFC4443] and [RFC5927].

I.e., the second RFC does NOT recommend changes; it documents them. This document should be VERY carefully reviewed to ensure that it does not undo the previous TCPM concerns about these techniques.
