In the clause "Unassigned flags MUST be set to zero on transmission”, if you read that in the narrowest possible way, it might require an implementation to know what flags are unassigned, so that it can set them to zero on transmission. If the clause were changed to “Flags unsupported by the implementation MUST be set to zero on transmission” I think that would be responsive to (how I read) the comment. The same point would apply to Section 3.1.
