Vladimir Dzhuvinov:

A Trust Chain may include metadata and / or policies for more than one Entity Type. An Entity processing a Trust Chain may safely skip "5.1.4. Combining Policies" and "5.1.5. Applying Policies" for any Entity Types it is not interested in. For example an RP \(`openid_relying_party`\) processing the Trust Chain for an OP \(`openid_provider`\) may ignore any metadata and policies under `oauth_authorization_server`, `oauth_resource`, etc. This is chiefly intended as an optimisation, to save resources when dealing with Trust Chains.

Q: Specify as “MAY ignore” or “SHOULD ignore”?
