I'd rather have it apply always, because I don't want to have one packet sent, and then a sender can burst the full window.  Making it specific to quiescence adds unnecessary complexity to the rules and may not accomplish the goal of mitigating the congestion caused to other flows of bursty sending.

I thought my existing text does that, but people are still confused, so better text would be greatly appreciated.
