Here's what the spec says:

    3.  Validate the structure of the Authenticated Received Chain.  A
        valid ARC has the following conditions:

        1.  Each ARC Set MUST contain exactly one each of the three ARC
            header fields (AAR, AMS, and AS).

I don't see where it says "except you can ignore the ones that don't 
validate particularly if they have funky algorithms."

The perl ARC module checks for dup headers and I don't think that's 
unusual.
