We've already said that a sender MUST limit bursts to IW, so there's no reason to repeat that. I would argue this is a SHOULD-level requirement; MAY is strange, since that's really a permission and that's not what we're going after here. I'd suggest dropping the phrase "in order to limit bursts" --- "An implementation that does not use pacing SHOULD limit the congestion window increase during slow start to 2 * max_datagram_size per ACK frame received {{?RFC3465}}. "
