    v10, pg 34, top:
    
     Any other key not understood by the responder may be ignored
     by the responder without affecting the basic function. However,
     the Text Response for a key not understood MUST be
     key=NotUnderstood.
    
    <PAT> That is for a key that is not understood, not for a value that is not
    understood or a value that is invalid.
    
    v10, pg 33, middle:
    
     If a responder does not support or is not allowed to use
     all of the offered options with a specific originator,
     it may use the constant "Reject".
    
    <PAT> That is part of the text under "In literal list negotiation..."
    It doesn't apply to the other negotiation types (e.g. numerical) because
    the requester doesn't give offered options. For instance, in numerical
    negotiation, the requester gives a single value and the responder returns a
    response based upon a key specific rule such as return the lower of the
    request value and responder's maximum value.
