That works for me. I've struggled a bit to figure out when it's right to use
2119 language and when it's okay to just be pedagogical in an applicability
statement, but I think I've gotten it now.
So this is now:
5.1. General Considerations
1. ARF report streams are established proactively between Report
Generators and Mailbox Providers. Recommendations for preparing
to make that request are discussed in Section 4.1 of [RFC6449].

This is now:
6.2. When To Generate Reports
1. Handling of unsolicited reports has a significant cost to the
receiver. Senders of unsolicited reports, especially those
sending large volumes of them automatically SHOULD NOT send
reports that cannot be used as a basis for action by the
recipient, whether this is due to the report being sent about an
incident that is not abuse-related, the report being sent to an
email address that won't result in action, or the content or
format of the report being hard for the recipient to read or use.
How's that?
