Why does the specification ask for a random number?
Do the numbers you generate (which, to be precise are not at all random,
just an obfuscated deterministic sequence) match that reason?
Do they have to be so obfuscated to match that reason or would something
simpler do as well, and possibly more reliably (like a constant value or
and increasing number - note that a constant is a possible output of any
true random number generator, does the spec have provisions for that
case or do they just rely on luck like RTSP seems to do)?
