Actually, what we have here is a 3720 bug.  If a new key is
declarative, an old implementation does not know that and will (or
may?) treat it as a negotiated key, and reply with NotUnderstood.

That case is not specific to X#NodeArchitecture.  So it shouldn't be
treated as a special case there; instead it should be noted as a
bugfix to 3720.

The fix is easy: a "NotUnderstood" value for a declarative key is
ignored.
