I think that this needs to be in the main spec. Failing to document
this sort of pitfall could be fatal. Does anyone disagree?

I agree with the idea which I find it important. But I disagree with strict
priorities. It should be possible to for lower priorities to communicate
with reduced throughput which is readily handled by a pacing algorithm.
There need to be some guarantees for priority 0 though.
