Does this mean that new standards can and do change the meaning of the 
term TCP?  I didn't realize that.

I try to be hip but I'm just an old curmudgeon.  Words do change.  Once 
in my pirate persona I said something about "booty" and my children 
were shocked.

I'm glad you're on this list and can keep me honest.

Well, if not flow control, maybe forward redundancy based on available 
Joules and modeling of reception.  Perhaps a good model for both 
control and human interaction would be email.
