 At any time, endpoints MAY change the Destination Connection ID they send to a
 value that has not been used on another path.
 
-An endpoint MUST use a new connection ID if it initiates connection migration as
-described in {{initiating-migration}} or probes a new network path as described
-in {{probing}}.  An endpoint MUST use a new connection ID in response to a
-change in the address of a peer if the packet with the new peer address uses an
-active connection ID that has not been previously used by the peer.

Yes. IIUC, the requirements are:
* A client MUST NOT reuse a CID across multiple paths (being identified by the 5 tuple).
* A server MUST NOT reuse a CID across multiple path, with the exception being that it MAY use a CID that has been used on one path on another path, if that new path is opened by a packet sent by a client using DCID for the old path.

We can combine these statements into one, and say that: An endpoint MUST NOT reuse a CID across multiple paths, with the exception being that it MAY use a CID that has been used on one path on another path, if that new path is opened by a packet sent by a client using DCID for the old path.

I think that is the most precise definition I can think of. If the above sounds fine, I can work on it.
