Hi,

The proposed text is:
"Implementations of this
   specification MUST support DTLS over UDP and MUST support DTLS over
   DCCP [RFC5238] if the DCCP transport is available at run-time."

So if I am an implementer, and I have no idea whether my customers
will have DCCP available at runtime, MUST I implement those
DCCP-related things that are specified in this document?

Even if I see no customer demand for DCCP, and assume it will NOT be
available at runtime, MUST my implementation support the service code
SYLG? 

If I don't implement support for this, and the customer DOES NOT have
DCCP at runtime, is my implementation compliant to this spec?

If I don't implement support for this, and the customer DOES have DCCP
at runtime, is my implementation still compliant to this spec?
