I think it's reasonable to recommend using UDP checksums, particularly for unprotected packets such as Retry and VN.

I hadn't thought through the implications of a corrupted Retry token to realize it makes the handshake unrecoverable.  I'm not sure I want to fix that issue now, but I think it's worth documenting.
