Oops.  I said ...
  "On synchronous stream sockets, the distributed 4.2 guarantees 
   [no interspersal of data from contending writes on the same socket]
   for writes of any size..."

Sorry.  I was, uh, mistaken.  Ok, ok, to not mince words, I was WRONG.
It does no such thing: the send queue is not locked continuously during
long writes.
