storm control is usually defined by switch vendors about defining an 
acceptable bit rate for a certain type of traffic (unicast, multicast, 
broadcast) whereas the flags you are controlling here are about 
essential bridge functional, regardless of the bitrate, I would just 
drop that mention of (storm) altogether in your v3.
