We thought we had laid these issues to rest in 1988, in RFC 1071.

I think you came close.  I disagree with one minor point in RFC 1071,
but code based on RFC 1071 would have the behavior that I think is
correct: it wouldn't generate TCP segments with 0xFFFF in the checksum
field, but it would accept such segments if it received them.
