I'm guessing you meant "I took the former as an instance of the latter".
, because I meant explicit in terms of the specification, not the
implementation. Wording could obviously have been better. I could see
rejection being noisy, silent or somewhere in between.
I was working off your term "reject" - which is IMO quite different from
"ignore" (more than the difference between "explicitly" and "silently".
Reject usually means some other action is taken, e.g., requiring an
alert to the user, a change in the protocol state, or a response
protocol message.
