I would adjust this to "removing continuations done badly to add then
discuss adding them again done properly!"

The "Greg et al" proposal's concern is not against fragmentation - it is
against having 2 fragmentation mechanisms in the one protocol and with one
of them having non-obvious and complex impacts on the state machine.

I think Mark has now decomposed the issues rather well, and we can now
address the issues point by point and debate "should headers be
fragmented/interleaved".   Those are good debates to have and we can only
really have them properly once we have got the current bad fragmentation
mechanism out of the way.
