Subject: [PATCH v2] content: explicitly document the VLAN filtering as best-effort
Similar to the MAC address based filtering, the VLAN filtering
is also best-effort in implementations, but it's not quite clear
in the spec. So document this behaviour explicitly to reflect
the way implementations behave.
