Is it not possible that the UDP-Lite header may define an arbitrary region
in the packet payload for checksum protection, and not restrict this region
to starting at the first byte of the payload? I don't think that the current
proposed scheme offers enough flexibility, and think that this capability
would make a valuable addition.
