-- 5.2.2: 5th paragraph:

This doesn't seem quite right, since it leaves the option of no abatement at all. Second, it doesn't seem to allow delegation of abatement downstream. When might one choose to ignore those SHOULDs? Is this here to allow delegation? If so, the use of SHOULD makes local throttling preferred over delegation.

<Ulrich> My understanding is: If delegation of abatement is done by a node, then that node is no longer a reacting node.
The first SHOULD is ignored by reacting nodes that do not support diversion and hence always perform throttling. For the second SHOULD you MAY be right. We SHOULD replace it with MUST.
In addition the world "otherwise" must not be read as " if diversion abatement treatment is not possible" but as " if diversion abatement treatment is not possible and if the first SHOULD is ignored".
