It is useful to have this message type in ASAP, because e.g. a component (NS, 
PE or PU) could receive a bad message via ASAP. Then, it can report the 
sender that it does not understand/accept this message via a PEER_ERROR. This 
is useful for debugging.

To make ASAP and ENRP PEER_ERROR more consistent, their definitions and 
especially the message type number (currently: 0x0e or ASAP, 0x0b for ENRP) 
could be unified. For example, the message number could be 0xff for both.
