Ya I think a MAY should suffice on the receiver side and I would be very happy with a MUST on the sender, however the general sentence about all QUIC frames are idempotent might mislead people into thinking that they can send any frame at any time. Do you think that "a valid frame" covers this case?  That is after sending a higher max data frame lower max data frames become invalid.
