 The selection process SHOULD be designed such that
 on average the spin bit is disabled for at least one eighth of network paths.
-The random choice SHOULD be dependent
-on the source and destination addresses of the path,
-so that the spin bit is consistently enabled or
-disabled for repeated use of the same path.
+The selection process SHOULD be externally unpredictable but consistent for
+any given combination of source and destination address/port. For instance,
+the implementation might have a static key which it uses to key a pseudorandom
+function over these values and use the output to determine whether to
+send the spin bit. The selection process performed at the beginning
+of the connection SHOULD be applied for all paths used by the connection.

"1/8th of network paths" is unclear - how can an endpoint identify paths? I think what is meant is 1/8th of *peers*
