This whole section is advisory, being full of "SHOULD" entries, rather than "MUST" entries - see section 1.3.2 for details of the terminology.
In addition, it has been superceded by technology, as the idea of waiting at least five minutes for a remote server to send a command is now simply ludicrous - in this age, anything which takes more than about five seconds can be assumed to have failed, and since we then give up on them and they try again, a temporary failure of an intervening connection is not good cause for us to keep a port open for five minutes in the vain hope that it will come back up again and also be able to carry on from where it left off.
