   Hearing no differing suggestions, those words seem appropriate. Thus
Section 4.4 might become:
" 
" 4.4. Active Queue Management algorithms deployed SHOULD be effective on
"      all common Internet traffic
"
" Active Queue Management algorithms typically are verified to work with
" TCP [RFC0793] and a limited number of applications of it. This no
" longer represents a sufficient selection of actual traffic. We have
" significant use of UDP [RFC0768] in voice and video services, as well
" as SCTP [RFC4960] and DCCP [RFC4340]. Hence, Active Queue Management
" algorithms should demonstrably work with other transports as well as
" TCP, and with a wide variety of applications.
