But won't that create inconsistency within the document? People will be wondering about why this section was broken into the 3rd level? Currently, we don't have any section with 3rd level of sub-sections. > The spec already mentions policy in connection with > error messages so we can't totally punt on the 'out > of scope' grounds;-).

Policy (ACL or filters) can be used to drop "any" packets. IMHO, if we start adding disclaimers about the ACLs or filters, a disclaimer will be needed in almost every spec. Right? Please propose the specific modification (text and location) and then we can have a consensus call about if we need to add it in the draft or not. > Echoing the wording in 3.1... > "Codes 1 and 2 are more informative subsets of Code 0."

Ok I will add a reference tag to make it clearer.
