I wanted to define this condition as narrowly as I could. I'm ok
dropping it -
I'm not sure its going to make much difference in practice. So to that end,
dropping this extra check makes sense.

I posted this as RFC because RFC 5961, I don't think says anything about
accepting rcv_nxt - 1 in this case, so I was wondering what people
thought...

This seems a reasonable trade-off to me

( to the rescue : RFC 1122 1.2.2 )
