OK. I want(ed) a term covering both. I just took a look at a draft standard
(not an IETF one, but uses several RFCs, so it's partly from that culture) and
it uses the formulation "the message is invalid".

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.
