+{: #fig-auth-cid title="Use of Connection IDs in a Handshake"}
+
+For the handshake in {{fig-auth-cid}} the client sets the value of the
+initial_source_connection_id transport parameter to `C1`. If the server sends a
+Retry packet (that is, the packets marked with a '*' are sent), it sets

I really like the diagram, but I would prefer to split it in two. There are two possible handshakes described here: without and with retry involved. I think that the `the packets marked with a '*' are sent` caveat is confusing, because when those packets aren't sent, the `1-RTT: DCID=S3` needs to be replaced by `1-RTT: DCID=S2`. It might be simpler to have two diagrams and two examples.

 If the client received and processed a Retry packet, it MUST validate that the

-MUST validate that the transport parameter is absent.  A client MUST treat a

This contradicts line 1568
> An endpoint MUST treat any of the following as a connection error of type PROTOCOL_VIOLATION

I have a slight preference for PROTOCOL_VIOLATION over TRANSPORT_PARAMETER_ERROR, though I don't much care as long as this section matches the other one.
