There has been a lot of discussion over the last two weeks about various proposals to address a number of issues. While we're not at the point where we have consensus to accept any of them wholesale, I do think we can reduce the surface area of the discussion by declaring consensus on the less controversial parts.

So: it appears that we have consensus to address issue #553 by:

* Expanding the frame size field to 24 bits
* Reserving additional bits to align 
* Adding a setting advertising the maximum frame size allowed by the recipient, with a default of 16K octets and a minimum of 256 octets

This would address (only) <https://www.mnot.net/
