(That's also bad but not as bad as the above). I am not sure that I worry about this. First I think that the proxy in this case is being overly helpful. Given that we are looking at a NON request, it makes sense that there is no response ever coming back from anybody. It would be different if this were a CON request. You are going to get the exact same behavior from a proxy which does not implement the No-Response option so this is not going to be new. > > I'd suggest picking an outer value that is not specified yet (say, "1", and call it > "at the origin's disretion").

If you are going to do this, it might be better to say that you are not interested in 8.xx messages which could be defined as being - no proxies are to generate responses.
