I similarly support the document. One comment, for Mikael.

Delay-based transports may or may not. For example, if Caltech FAST is in use, 
the window is changed according to
                       least measured RTT
        cwnd’ = cwnd * ------------------ + alpha
                           mean RTT

And the obvious thing to do on receipt of CE might well be to simply arrest 
upward growth on the window, allowing the natural process to subsequently 
reduce it. That would mean, in the above, solving for mean RTT when cwnd’ == 
cwnd (what RTT value would have cwnd not change in the above equation?), and 
setting the mean RTT variable to

                                                         cwnd
    mean RTT := min ( Mean RTT, least measured RTT * ------------ )
                                                     cwnd - alpha
