In my view the point of not sending PING early is to reduce the complexity of the early packet number spaces and allow special code to handle these. The fewer types of packets and ACK's here the better. However, if PING ends up simplifying this logic, then certainly there is an argument for that. The question then is: would PING' complicate ACK logic in early packet number spaces? That would only really be the case if there were no ACK's otherwise since PING's are easy to handle. 

OTOH - if it is only a matter of cleaning up two paragraphs in the spec it may not be worthwhile. An exception may be the natural thing if the PTO logic is in fact separate anyway in the different PN spaces.
