    ack no inversion. This can actually allow more direct preservation

        <div>I am indifferent on this issue (the bit inversion), but so
          far only Jorge has spoken up. I opted for this detail during
          implementation in order to preserve existing semantics, even
          if those semantics are not commonly used. This was the
          conservative choice, driven in part because I didn't want the
          proposal to be held up by the other side saying "this is
          confusing because it changes how sequence numbers work! it
          used to count up but now it counts down!"<br>
          <br>
        </div>
        I can see both sides and as I said I'm indifferent, so I went
        with the conservative choice of not messing with existing
        semantics. However if there is strong preferences from
        _multiple_ people on this matter it is not too late to change.
        If anyone feels strongly about this, please speak up.<br>
