I don't think there is a clear behaviour we want to recommend or require for 
either scenario. Different clients built for different purposes will behave in 
different ways: a machine-to-machine client is going to be stricter than a 
client that simply renders the response into a format to be consumed by a user. 
This is why the draft is silent on this point.
