That's a good point. Perhaps it was intended to convey some sort of
half-decoding? I frankly don't remember any discussions about this.

Does it cause problems in any UI? wireshark just displays all the

Anyway, this has certainly never been generated on Linux, and probably
not elsewhere, so I have no objection to deprecating it and marking
those fields reserved or so.
