Subject: Another question: unnecessary objects

How should unnecessary objects be handled?

For instance, if a STYLE object is included in a Path message.  Or if a
SCOPE object is included in a non-WF style Resv message.

I can think of two possibilities, either of which might be appropriate:

- Treat it as an unknown object class.  For most objects, this will mean
  rejecting the message, since most objects have class numbers of the
  form 0bbbbbbb.

- Ignore the object - process the message as if it didn't exist.
