>>> Right, so make that clear. I note that simply adding "and Identification of TLS Connections" to the end is ambiguous (since it makes it sound like it defines O/A for TLS), but you can fix this by reversing the existing title; e.g., something like: "Establishing Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) Using the Session Description Protocol (SDP) Offer/Answer Mechanism and Identification of Transport Layer Security (TLS) Connections in SDP”

If you can think of some shorter way to say it, that'd be great -- but if I'm perusing a list of titles for something TLS-related and come across one that mentions only DTLS, I'd skip over it. The original title seems like a genuine flaw.

Here’s a sacrificial proposal from the _much_ more general side:  

    “DTLS and TLS considerations in the SDP Offer/Answer Mechanism” 

… with appropriate acronym expansions of course. That may be too expansive, but we do have the abstract to narrow the focus. Some alternatives:
 
   “DTLS and TLS Session Management in the SDP Offer/Answer Mechanism” 
   “DTLS and TLS Security Association Management in the SDP Offer/Answer Mechanism”
