Rather than imply that the 2**14 limit is de novo in syslog, a phrasing like "RFC 4347 limits the size of DTLS message bodies to 2**14 bytes" would be preferable. The limit will still be an issue for some parts of healthcare and this kind of phrasing points to the real source of the limit. Then, if some later version of DTLS changes that limit, the syslog over dtls would inherit that change. This would be consistent with the approach taken in syslog over UDP, where the size limits are recommendations up until the hard limit for the size of a UDP message, and it is made clear that UDP is the reason for the hard limit.
