I'd tend to agree here.

I think the normative text in question is:

> ...
> 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.

This seems to me like: 
> each connection ID MUST be used on packets sent from only one local address

still has value as normative text (although it would likely be better all in one place).

Not sure the new text improves on what's there now, does:
> , and MUST NOT be used across multiple paths that are opened intentionally.

add anything to clarity of this point?
