Ok. Included below is the new text adopting your suggestions. 

  * Circuit Breakers

  In additional to congestion control, implementations that support
  non-congestion control mode SHOULD implement circuit breakers [[RFC8084]]
  as a recovery method of last resort. When circuit breakers are
  enabled an implementation SHOULD also enable congestion control
  reports so that circuit breakers have information to act on.

  The pseudowire congestion considerations RFC7893 are equally
  applicable to the mechanisms defined in this document, notably the
  text on inellastic traffic.

Thanks,
Chris.
