After a brief re-read, I see that RFC4408 explains that unknown modifiers are to be ignored, but doesn't say what to do if there's an unknown mechanism encountered.  Since such a mechanism fails the ABNF grammar, I presume that means a receiver should just ignore the entire record because it's invalid.

Should the updated one say that explicitly, or say "ignore unknown mechanisms", or just leave it the way it is?
