>>blame you if you drop the response.

You could but that's a bit harsh when it doesn't particularly matter.

For me, the way for maximum interoperability:
"Ignore headers not understood.  Ignore headers if not interested."

And by all means tell information the vendor of the product 
about their product's bad behaviour.

Both RFC3261 and RFC2543 say  Max-Forwards can only be present in
request, So I guess no one can blame you if you drop the response.

RFC3261 page 161
      Max-Forwards            R      amr   m   m   m   m   m   m

Subject: [Sip-implementors] unexpected header in SIP response

Query on such an scenario:
 
As we know that the Header - Max-Forwards are only for SIP Request
message, however, if the UAC receives a 183 message with Max-Forwards
header present, how the UAC should react to such a response? Should the
call be taken down or go ahead? Is there an explicit description on such
an error handling? 
 
Thanks,
 
Alex Zhang
