-The "closed" state is the terminal state for a stream.
-
-Once a stream reaches this state, no frames can be sent that mention the stream.
-Reordering might cause frames to be received after closing, see
-{{state-hc-remote}}.
+An endpoint could continue receiving frames for the stream even after the stream
+is closed for sending if packets are reordered.  At the receiving endpoint,
+retransmissions of data in STREAM frames, or retransmissions of STREAM_BLOCKED
+and RST_STREAM frames might arrive after the stream becomes "closed".  At the
+sending endpoint, MAX_STREAM_DATA frames might be received after the stream
+becomes "closed".  Frames received on a "closed" stream SHOULD be discarded.  An
+endpoint MAY choose to limit the period over which it ignores frames and treat
+frames that arrive after this time as being in error.

If a peer closes the stream and continues to send frames on that stream long after closing, it's a way to generate unaccounted traffic.

This is a case where I would reference the ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM error, but apparently we can't have nice things.
