 ACK frames SHOULD always acknowledge the most recently received packets, and the
 more out-of-order the packets are, the more important it is to send an updated
 ACK frame quickly, to prevent the peer from declaring a packet as lost and
-spuriously retransmitting the frames it contains.
+spuriously retransmitting the frames it contains.  An ACK frame is expected
+to fit within a single QUIC packet.  If it does not, then older ranges
+(those with the smallest packet numbers) are omitted.
 

"are omitted" is vague. Does this mean a receiver can conclude non-receipt of any packet number higher than the oldest in an ACK frame. If so, the wording probably should be "MUST be omitted".
