The MIT/Chiappa and Proteon code always took interpretation 1.  You
check the checksum, and then do an incremental update.  (Eventually
both were done in the same subroutine, and you backed out the update
if you later could not forward the packet.  Not totally clean, but a
speed boost.)

I'd say that interpretation 1 was always the intended one.
