RFC-4460

The section 2.4.2. of RFC-4460 says that:


   ---------
   New text: (Section 3.2.1)
   ---------
 
   The actual SCTP parameters are defined in the specific SCTP chunk
   sections.  The rules for IETF-defined parameter extensions are
   defined in Section 13.2.  Note that a parameter type MUST be unique
   across all chunks.  For example, the parameter type '5' is used to
   represent an IPv4 address (see Section 3.3.2).  The value '5' then is
   reserved across all chunks to represent an IPv4 address and MUST NOT
   be reused with a different meaning in any other chunk.
 

Does it means that the RFC 2960 had allowed to have same parameter type 
across different chunks..?
Can an implementor define and use his own parameter type other than what 
specified in RFC..?
Please clarify.

Thanks.
