I agree. I suggest to make this generic, something like - "The C Flag
has no meaning in other PCEP messages that carry SRP object and the
flag MUST be set to 0 on transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt."

It wont be useful, but if received it would be silently ignored. It
does not rise up to a high level of error and I suspect that is why
authors used SHOULD.

I have noticed 'on receipt' in many of our documents. We should leave
this one for the RFC-EDITOR maybe...
