I like @kazuho's formulation of the min(), but I don't think we need to state what the server or client _should_ do, rather we note the cost of using a dead connection. (I'm not opposed to saying that the endpoints _should not_ use potentially dead connections, but I don't think it's necessary.)

The discussion on PINGs is not about NATs, to be clear. The text we have right now on keeping connections alive with PINGs leaves it up to the application to decide when to send a PING. Without knowing when this connection might be closed by QUIC underneath due to an idle timeout, when should the application send a PING? 

I believe there's a problem here that QUIC "negotiates" its idle timeout with the peer (I know @martinthomson doesn't agree, but an endpoint does need to figure out how to use the peer's value), and HTTP is expected to keep the connection alive based on whether requests are pending or not, but we don't talk anywhere about the interaction between the two.
