I only really added "nor to make any new recommendations herein" and
change the phrasing (changed 'but' to a 'neither'/'nor' pair).

The 'nonstandard' part was from your original text (below, from v10),
and I think it's still needed, i.e., I think the above text is preferable.

(from v10:
   We note that the counter-measures discussed in this document are not
   part of standard TCP behavior and this document does not change that
   state of affairs.  The consensus of the TCPM WG (TCP Maintenance and
   Minor Extensions Working Group) was to document this widespread
   implementation of nonstandard TCP behavior but to not change the TCP
   standard.
