Therein lies my original discomfort with the change; it didn't seem to
make sense to talk about recovering from a fatal error.  Perhaps making
it "is done whenever a fatal error (as defined in section 6.2.2.2.1) has
been detected that can be "solved" by resetting the link" or something
like that to make it clear how the term is being used?
