Re: [tsvwg] New Version Notification for draft-herbert-udp-space-hdr-01.txt

This approach serves absolutely no useful purpose. 

The UDP options already provide a vehicle for others to use the surplus space and it already consumes the entirety of that space.

I hope those in the WG interested in improving UDP options will comment on the other posted issues instead.
