Yeah, IPv6 fragment handling, for example, does deal with error conditions, and even
with conditions which may seem out of the ordinary but which shouldn't be considered
errors.

I'd differ on this one; it's good to describe what to do in error
conditions without constraining the implementation unduly. Otherwise
adversaries can profile your device based on its responses. That
being said, it's really not a big deal, and so if nobody else feels
strongly in this direction I have no objections to removing the
paragraph.
