Here are some comments on draft-ietf-syslog-dtls-02.  All are nits.

1. Introduction:

r/with TLS security [RFC5246]/with TLS [RFC5246]
r/syslog Message/syslog message

Upon first reading of the last paragraph, I was trying to figure out how 
I was going to use syslog/DTLS/UDP/DCCP.  Can we use "in preference to" 
for "over" in the last sentence (or something other than "over"):

OLD:

If an operator has the choice of the two, it is recommended to use 
syslog over DTLS over DCCP.

NEW:

If an operator has the choice of the two, it is RECOMMENDED to use 
syslog over DTLS in preference to syslog over DCCP.

2. Terminology

To align with the DTLS client definition:

OLD:

A "DTLS server" is an application that can receive a Client Hello from a 
client and reply with a Server Hello.

NEW:

A "DTLS server" is an application that can receive a DTLS Client Hello 
from a client and reply with a DTLS Server Hello.

4. Using DTLS to Secure Syslog

r/Denial of Service attacks/Denial of Service attacks.

5.4.1 Message Size

r/each DTLS record must fit within a single DTLS datagram/each DTLS 
record MUST fit within a single DTLS datagram
