The advantage of this is that it's easy to tell which Request packet
got through, so you can initialize RTT measurements correctly.  The
disadvantage would be that you have to be prepared to accept a
Response acking any of the Request sequence numbers you've sent for
this connection.  So using new sequence numbers seems to be a win on
balance, but it is slightly more complex.
