You do not have to 'criticize' SYSLOG over TLS/TCP - there will be
situations where there simply is no TCP, see 6lowpan et al. The best
thing is to concentrate on defining how SYSLOG over DTLS works and to
leave out any discussion about 'shortcomings' of TLS/TCP or how to
choose the best SYSLOG transport for a given network for future
documents.
