Well, I have had my caffeine, so I have no excuse, but I don't know 
what transmit window is.

The TCP window is controlled by the receiver.

Is the "transmit window" the initial congestion window used by some 
implementations for slow start?  I don't think TCP implementations 
increase the congestion window beyond the TCP window.

Am I too focused on the TCP standard and am missing the real world 
implementations?
