Any suggestions on appropriate relaxed wording?  Should I just remove
this wording altogether?

Is it worth instead including some informative text reminding that
C++11 requires destruction of objects with thread storage duration to
be sequenced before destruction of objects with static storage
duration, so implementations should make sure they DSO isn't unloaded
(and its static objects destroyed) until all outstanding thread-local
registrations have run (e.g., by holding a DSO reference count in the
registration)?
