That way of phrasing it is dangerous - it implies that when the values differ there is some sort of error.

It would be more in line with current TSV efforts to standardize UDP options to say “UDP length can be compressed when it *can* be computed from the IP length” and that “it MUST NOT be compressed as computable otherwise”.
