There is a lot more nuance to this, as described in RC6040. This document needs
to follow that existing standard rather than define another variant.

We reference RFC3168 which talks directly to handling ECN with IPsec security 
associations. We are not defining a new variant. I see that RFC6040 updates the 
RFCs we reference so we perhaps should add that reference here as well?

It's not just adding the reference. RFC6040 specifies how ECN applies to 
tunnels, including this tunnel, so it needs to be followed here (or there needs 
to be a solid rationale/discussion about which aspects are not being followed 
and why.)

I've changed the ECN section text on marking to:

[slight grammar fix]

 [[RFC3168]] and [[RFC4301]] define behaviors for marking ECN based on the
 ingress and egress of the inner packet. These RFCs were later updated
 by [[RFC6040]]. The methods defined in [[RFC6040]] SHOULD be followed with
 the addition that if multiple inner packets are being encapsulated in
 an AGGFRAG mode outer packet, the ECN value from a congestion
 indicating packet should be the source of the copied value.

Thanks,
Chris.
