I argued in another discussion already that we should just recommend to mark all packets as ECT(0) until validation fails as this case where packet get dropped is basically not existence anymore. However, this was not accepted as people felt this approach would not increase implementation complexity. I still think the text should note that this is a really rare case and I had an editorial PR for that that was also not expected, so I would propose anything again. Just wanted to state my opinion...
