+### Draining Period {#draining}
+
+After a connection is closed for any reason, an endpoint might receive packets
+from its peer.  These packets might have been sent prior to receiving any close
+signal, or they might be retransmissions of packets for which acknowledgments
+were lost.
+
+The draining period persists for three times the maximum of minimum RTO
+(kMinRTOTimeout) or the round trip time (smoothed_rtt), see {{QUIC-RECOVERY}}
+for descriptions of these values.  During this period, new packets can be
+attributed to the correct connection and acknowledged, but the connection is no
+longer considered active and usable.

I went with the latter.  I'm trying *really* hard not to say that anything is retransmittable, packets or frames.  I want to keep reinforcing the idea that it's the *contents* of frames (the data or signal) that is retransmitted.
