An issue that the Chairs have determined has consensus, by canvassing the mailing list.
The PING frame is currently overloaded for reachability and path validation semantics. This is icky to implement, especially since an ACK is adequate in one case, while a PONG frame is required for the other. It would be nice to use separate frames for path validation and leave PING to be used for only reachability.
