I think you have to be careful here that you're not going to imply that
a client must support the parameter in its implementation, but merely
that the parameter as part of a response must be *accepted* (but may be
ignored if no implementation is being provided to back this parameter)
as part of a valid configuration. That is why I suggested my initial
errata wording as I did in the corrected text.

I also agree that the exact same rationale applies to 7.1.2.1
"server_max_window_bits" since that can also be sent unsolicited by the
server to a client, even if the client may not support that functionality.
