Hi Stephane,

This is a good point the DRR draft should specify what is the behavior if
FORWARD_CRITICAL(0x01) or   DESTINATION_CRITICAL(0x02) also appears in the
message. I think that the right behavior is to obey the
FORWARD_CRITICAL(0x01)/ DESTINATION_CRITICAL(0x02) defined behavior.

"If the FORWARD_CRITICAL flag is set, any node that would forward the
message but does not understand this options MUST reject the request with an
error_Unsupported_Forwarding_Option error response.  If the
DESTINATION_CRITICAL flag is set, any node that generates a response to the
message but does not understand the forwarding option MUST reject the
request with an Error_Unsupported_Forwarding_Option error response."

I think that DRR should recommend that the RESPONSE_COPY flag SHOULD be set
to false while the FORWARD_CRITICAL and DESTINATION_CRITICAL SHOULD be set
to true. (This text appeared in
