 The use of a connection ID allows connections to survive changes to endpoint

I think that we can remove this requirement also.  For the recipient, there is no requirement to have the packet that carries a PATH_RESPONSE travel on any particular path.

What you need to have here is a much clearer split in the requirements: the responder MUST send a PATH_RESPONSE on the same path that it got the PATH_CHALLENGE on, but the initiator MUST accept a PATH_CHALLENGE that arrives on any path.  I think that you need a paragraph explaining that split and why it exists.
