How about:
        A node implementing RFC 2893 MUST be able to reassemble IPv4 packets
        of a size up to and including 65353 octets and MUST NOT place
        any limits on the size of the received encapsulated packets.
        In particular, it MUST NOT assume that the maximum size of
        received packets has anything to do with the MTU for the tunnel.

Of course, it might also make sense to add some SHOULD (or MUST?) to
section 3.2 in RFC 2893 to make IPv4 MTU discovery across the tunnel
seem less optional than what the current text says.
