I see no reason not to make this 50ms.  20ms might cross the line, but
I'll let people argue about what is safe below that.  I have done some
calculations on this and even at 20ms, it's not out of proportion.
(I'll send a pointer out when I submit the draft later today).

A good reason not to have a larger pacing timer is the effect that it
has on RTO.  For some configurations, the standard formulae lead to
ICE taking far too long to complete.
