Not 'odd'. Fully specified in the RFC. Anyone that did not implement
the spec gets what they deserve.
IMHO, better for a packet that can be misinterpreted be dropped, Like
the new non-standard Google NTP. Unmarked these new packets can cause
havoc.
But, to be fair, some assert the spec is a bit ambiguous. So any
extention should be a new RFC. Like Autokey.
