Matt,

Reliance on the urgent pointer at the beginning if each message block is
problematic.  What pointer is valid with more than one such message within
the pointer range?  It is not clear how such a mechanism would work with
existing implementations or if this pointer would vector to a message within
the TCP segment or stagger by the send buffer.  This would not be the
intended use but at least some pointer would be better than nothing.  To
allow out of sequence processing, protection from spoofing should also be
afforded.  This seems rather messy when a clean solution already exists.
