I will say again that the IP-in-UDP proposal as it stands does not have a 
solution
for tunnel fragmentation (made available by GUE).

The proposed solution does not assume IP; it assumes a next header
selector in the first nibble of the data following the UDP header. Non
IP can be conveyed when the next header selector indicates GUE.
