No, it works -- if you set up a BSD system and apply their patch,
the second image loads fully too -- I did it once, and it worked
just like it is supposed to.

A working implementation (blessed by Christian Huitama) is IMO a defacto
standard.

I inquired of the TCP-IMPL working group about setting something like
ETCP up, to the point of submitting an independent proposal pretty much
describing it, and was referred to the ETCP demonstration.
