Servers MUST accept include-tag without error or warning, even if the
server does not understand or support the option.

Servers SHOULD pack the tags if their referrant is packed and the
client has requested include-tag.

Clients MUST be prepared for the case where a server has ignored
include-tag and has not actually sent tags in the pack.  In such
cases the client SHOULD issue a subsequent fetch to acquire the
tags that include-tag would have otherwise given the client.


How is "no tags present" signalled? Without such a signal, the client
must always issue a subsequent request every time there are no tags
embedded in the received pack, as it can't know if the server ignored
the option silently or if there just aren't any new tags.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
