I've answered this very question, including recently, to people who were trying to understand QUIC framing. The text is definitely not nonsensical, and unless you want people experimenting with making frames go across packet boundaries (yes, you _can_ do this and use packet numbers as a way to reassemble pieces of a frame), I'd keep the MUST. I don't see a reason to drop the MUST.

This isn't editorial. The MUST is not implied anywhere.
