 believes that the Path Maximum Transmission Unit (PMTU) supports the size that
 it chooses.
 
-A server MAY send a CONNECTION_CLOSE frame with error code PROTOCOL_VIOLATION in
-response to an Initial packet it receives from a client if the UDP datagram is
-smaller than 1200 bytes. It MUST NOT send any other frame type in response, or
-otherwise behave as if any part of the offending packet was processed as valid.
+A server that has no existing state for a connection MUST discard an Initial
+packet that is carried in a UDP datagram that is smaller than 1200 bytes.  Other
+packets in the datagram SHOULD also be discarded.  A server MAY send a
+CONNECTION_CLOSE frame with error code PROTOCOL_VIOLATION in addition to
+discarding a packet if that does not affect a connection for which the server
+has established state; see {{immediate-close}}.

The problem I'm trying to finesse around here is one where the server gets a partial ClientHello in an Initial.  That is processed and held.  The next packet is a small Initial.  The server should discard that *without* generating a CONNECTION_CLOSE or it will disrupt the in-progress connection establishment.
