#46: Bad normative advice on not letting overload reports expire

 Section 4.5 says " As a general guidance for implementations it is
 RECOMMENDED never to let any overload report to timeout." In my opinion,
 this is bad advice. If an overload report is close to expiring anyway,
 it's better to just let it expire than to generate a new report to end the
 condition.

 Furthermore, this falls into the category of normative language that does
 not effect interoperability. That is forbidden by RFC 2119, except for
 situations where not following it does significant harm. If we believe
 letting reports expire does significant harm, we should explain why.
