In Section 6.1:


   Datagram de-duplication can be accomplished using hash-based
   duplicate detection for cases where the ID field is absent.


Under what circumstances would the ID field be absent?

Replace "absent" with "known not unique".

Except that the two are not semantically equivalent.

Indeed.  That was why I suggested the change.
