Re: [quicwg/base-drafts] Client that does not PAD does not negotiate? (#4021)

[Gorry Fairhurst <[e-mail]>]

So if this confused me (a little), I am assuming it could confuse others, so one way to make this clear is add a sentence (albeit a little long) after the SHOULD in section 6 that says what happens and explicitly includes a forward ref to Section 14.1 i.e.

AFTER THIS CURRENT TEXT:
   “The size of the first packet sent by a client will determine whether
   a server sends a Version Negotiation packet.  Clients that support
   multiple QUIC versions SHOULD pad the first packet they send to the
   largest of the minimum packet sizes across all versions they support.
   This ensures that the server responds if there is a mutually
   supported version.”


ADD SOMETHING LIKE:
    "If a client sends an Initial packet (see section 14.1) less than the smallest allowed
 packet size for the version of QUIC supported at the server 
(e.g., when this size is not permitted by the local interface), 
the server would not reply with a Version Negotiation packet and the connection attempt will time out.
