Picking up on the point of commonality between DTLS for IPFIX, ISMS and syslog:

- having a common statement of how to check certificates would save work here
and elsewhere ie get draft-hodges-server-ident-check-00.txt to include as a
minimum the cases covered in syslog-tls and get that I-D progressing onto
standards track so as to use it as a normative reference (can we steal it from
apps into security:-).

- syslog has tls as RECOMMENDED transport at the insistence of the IESG because
it has flow control and the others do not.  DTLS over UDP has no flow control
and so, by analogy,  I would expect it to be unacceptable to the IESG ie it will
have to be DTLS over SCTP that will have to be there as well or instead
(something I did not think of in 2006).

- having written a DTLS I-D (and looked at many more), I am inclined to agree
with Wes that there will not be much in common (apart from certificate
checking - see above)
