Perhaps:

EOR frames for non-subtitle streams are syntactically valid, but, except
for the last frame, they SHOULD be ignored by demuxers and MUST NOT be
written by muxers.

Or:

EOR frames for non-subtitle streams MUST NOT be written by muxers and SHOULD 
be ignored by demuxers, except for the last frame.
