As it stands, the idle timeout period is used by both QUIC endpoints, and may be made available to the application but,
- it's not clear how an endpoint should determine this value,
- it's not explicitly stated that the min(server, client) should be used,
- it's not explicitly stated that this min value should be communicated to the application, which needs it to determine how often to send PINGs.

A straw proposal is to use 30 seconds as the default idle timeout period, and state the other two points explicitly in the transport and http drafts.
