Does that actually help?  What it's saying in full is:

  An endpoint that receives an illegal combination of "things" MAY choose to 
  treat that as a fatal error or MAY choose not to treat it as a fatal error.

which is a no-op.  Admittedly it explicitly allows you to treat it as an error 
while previously the response was left open, but it's still not terribly 
useful, anyone writing a client that submits gibberish things can claim it's 
OK and the server needs to be fixed to accept it.
