Yes, this is the real world and businesses that don't follow the spec are
creating a serious interoperability exposure for themselves. Nonetheless,
if a message violates the intent of the creaters of the CPA (or equivalent)
one or the other has made a serious error and processing of the message
should not continue.

I find myself outnumbered so I will acquiesce -- with one final comment.
Businesses in the real world don't like strict rules. I think this will
fail,
or more likely implementors will not follow the spec.

I vote for option 1: Stop processing and send back an Error --
NotSupported/Error.
I agree, and with the rest of what you said.
