Which is an unacceptable outcome.  Errata are an acceptable
means of addressing this.  We are not fixing a protocol design
error, but repairing a missing scenario.

   A savvy implementer of the specification can often, but not always,
   figure out what was intended by the RFC as published, but technical
   errors should be announced somehow.

In this case, the spec says nothing about an odd but interesting
scenario.  I don't think this requires a new version of the protocol,
just a clarification.

Thanks,
 Phil
