Well, having it be "This frame is being transmitted under aggregation"
can't be guaranteed anyway.

Eg, imagine the case where your BA window is such that you've sent 0
.. 63 and only received a BA for 1..63.
So you have to send one single frame - why would you request a
blockack and why would you transmit it as an aggregate? :)

So hopefully hardware already knows how to deal with this.

Now, whether firmware deals with being given multiple frames to
transmit that fall inside the BA window _but_ you've requested to
transmit it at CCK rates (or legacy OFDM rates for 11na) then.. who
knows. :)
