New issue 2152: Consistently apply "if not understood MUST be ignored" language at potential extension points
https://bitbucket.org/openid/connect/issues/2152/consistently-apply-if-not-understood-must
Michael Jones:
We use this and similar language at [https://openid.net/specs/openid-federation-1\_0-34.html#name-constraints](https://openid.net/specs/openid-federation-1_0-34.html#name-constraints) and other places:
> Other constraint parameters MAY be defined and used. If they are not understood, they MUST be ignored.[¶](https://openid.net/specs/openid-federation-1_0-34.html#section-6.2-4)
But we’re not consistently applying this extension principle throughout the specification. For instance, this language is missing from the list endpoint description.
We should include this language, where applicable.
Responsible: Michael Jones
