As far as I can see, the original text is correct, which is easy to
see if you look at the corresponding paragraph of RFC 4347 (DTLS 1.0):
version
The version of the protocol being employed. This document describes DTLS
Version 1.0, which uses the version { 254, 255 }. The version
value of 254.255
is the 1's complement of DTLS Version 1.0.
If the suggested text had been correct, then the encoding in RFC 4347
would have been { 254, 254 } as DTLS 1.0 is based on TLS 1.1.
