There is -- a 2308 error response would be appropriate.

I'm open to this if others agree.  Silent modification isn't a good
practice.

I'm not planning to make DCP optional again as part of this next round of
edits.  That's why the text notes it as a core requirement.

I tend to disagree for reasons others have mentioned.  Instead of trying to
guess at the elements that I thought would be useful, I thought it best to
make the feature available and let operators and others decide if it's
useful or not.
