Great summary.

 Mallikarjun> Sounds like an agreement to not add any new text to me.

Well, Eddy raised the issue a while back that some people writing
conformance tests were interpreting "initiator must do X" as "target
must check that initiator does X".  That's clearly an incorrect
conclusion.  But given that people make this mistake, I wonder if a
note in the guide saying "unless RFC 3720 specifically requires it, an
implementation is not required to do protocol conformance checking on
incoming message", or something like that, would be helpful.
