I agree. In fact, it may be useful to people other than the
"IP networking crowd": Transport and application layer protocol
designers may be very interested as well.

That is not entirely true. RFC 2960 (Standards Track) includes
nearly 15 pages "[sketching] the API which should exist at the
boundary between the SCTP and the SCTP user layers."
