I also mentioned PWE fragmentation - rfc4623 - it depends upon the sequence
numbers as a fragment identifier.  So depending upon how it is implemented,
it may implicitly turn on sequencing, without the user knowing.

So the related question then becomes, where is that fragmentation support
being used - if anywhere?
