Depending how the server distinguishes them, a change of method / confusion about what server you're sending it to could make you appear to be presenting a Retry token instead of a regular token.  This error code enables the client to recover and retry quickly, but there's no language about what the client should do when it receives the code.

 use, a server can cause the connection to be routed to a server instance with
 more resources available for new connections.
 
+If a server receives a client Initial with a unverifiable Retry token,

I still think the requirement to make them distinguishable should be a MUST.  Otherwise, a change of token generation method could make an old NEW_TOKEN token appear to be an invalid Retry token.
