What does it mean for the report type to be optional? More to the point, do we expect all reacting nodes to support ReportType? If not, what behavior do we expect from a node that doesn't understand ReportType, and gets a report that includes it? The answer can't be to ignore the presence of ReportType, because that is likely to cause incorrect action.
