I still think it's a bad idea to mix the two features together like this: applications should be able to get predictably non-T/TCP behaviour if they so choose. How about keeping the TCP_NOPUSH part of the functionality under that name and making a TCP_ALLOWTAO option for the listen-side functionality?
