I’d actually like to suggest this doc avoid repeating information in other 
docs, notably the UDP options spec.

In particular:
- there is no need to replicate Fig 1
- there is no need to replicate the definitions of SAFE or UNSAFE

All these things can be “as defined in X”. That avoids any issues if there are 
subtle changes to these, notably the definitions.
