Then let me understand the IMHO fundamental issue about sockets, using the
RFC8610 3.9 tcp-header example:

Lets say i define:

  tcp-header-structure [ tcp-header ]

And i have not defined any $$tcp-option

When an implementation of this now receives a CBOR array with not only
2 elements (seq, ack), but with more elements:

MUST it recognize this as a tcp-header-structure - according to CBOR parsing 
rules ?

(the way i read rfc8610, the answer is no)

MUST it ignore the array elements after ack ?
