Thanks, Pekka.

Yeah, I can wait a while to submit v4. I'll make the small changes you
requested in your comments below, and add your r-b. I'm a little
unclear on how I'll know when enough time has elapsed in your opinion
to judge that all the ack's and r-b's that are likely to eventually
arrive, have done so.
