That sequence number is allowed. The lower sequence numbers that allow those other features are also accepted. However anything lower than those will have the node reject the transaction as non-final. | |

About the locktime, the prevention is very clear that happen at check tx for entering mempool; but for sequence that not clear for me. | |
