Another issue that came up from the IESG is the relative roles of UDP and DCCP
as a substrate.  In this context, the discussions on tsvwg which Lars is
steering about SCTP, DCCP and UDP make interesting reading, with some
contributors asserting that the only way to get a packet through a complex
network is with UDP, that SCTP and DCCP are (comparative) failures that just
don't get recognised widely enough.

Certainly my (limited) view is that UDP is the MUST HAVE, the one that will give
maximum interoperability so while DCCP is technically superior, making it the
MUST implement will simply cause this I-D to be ignored by most.

I haven't seen any response from Lars on this issue.
