Some possible, insubstantial corrections.

 The UDP-Lite specification [RFC5237] says: "UDP-Lite
**RFC3828 I think

   Furthermore, "Assigned Numbers" is now obsolete [RFC3232]
** I still see it as INFORMATIONAL - should we obsolete it? or do you mean that
RFC3232 obsoleted RFC1700?

HYPHEN  = %x2d              ; "-"
**%x2D would be consistent with the other statements

separating protocol variants based on security capabilities (e.g., HTTP on TCP
port 80 vs. HTTPS on TCP port 443) is not recommended for new protocols
** NOT RECOMMENDED ??

and MUST accompanied by a statement
** //be/ ??

Yes, I have read it:-)
