It did cover that case - it was up to the app what to do when the first 
ACCEPT was processed.  I didn't go into the JS-level mechanisms used.

Do not assume that remote IP == source - this is easily provably false, 
though if you used remote IP+port AND local IP+port I think it would be 
ok.  However, for each remote connection we should have a DTLS 
connection instance, so that's probably simplest.

Quite possibly this is really a W3C area...  though they're all 
interrelated.
