-When there is no data to send, the sender SHOULD send a PING or other
-ack-eliciting frame in a single packet, re-arming the PTO timer.
+It is possible the sender has no new or previously-sent data to send.
+As an example, consider the following sequence of events: new application data
+is sent in a STREAM frame, deemed lost, then retransmitted in a new packet,
+and then the original transmission is acknowledged.  When there is no data to
+send, the sender SHOULD send a PING or other ack-eliciting frame in a single
+packet, re-arming the PTO timer.

I don't get this example.  In this example, you have sent something, it was received, end of story.

The new text above says that you can't arm PTO if you have nothing to send (MUST NOT even).  Which did you mean?
