I'll say it again another way - the acts of "forwarding a 
non-200 response" and "responding as a UAS" are indistinguishable
by the next upstream element. It truly does not matter if the
tag gets modified in this case or not. 

The statement at 2370 is only important for responses that could
create a dialog. It is unnecessarily restrictive as currently
stated. I will correct it.
