By asking "What about the RFC" I didn't mean "Which RFC sets the
numbers". I meant "Why do you use the same MSS for IPv4 and IPv6,

This is how I understand it too. Wikipedia calls it "protocol
overhead". I don't know if there are other implications though (e.g. OS
fingerprinting or something else).

How? The two corner cases are different and 1220 is > x2 than 536, i.e.
very far from the "corner" (limit), i.e. it would not improve
efficiency.
