Re: appropriateness of combination of controls (new suggestion)

When considering whether a control is appropriate for the operation, the implementation is not only to consider whether the control is attached to a message it was intended to be used with, but whether the control is being used appropriately in combination with other controls (of same or different controlType).

 When a server is faced with a sequence
 of controls which are not appropriate for the operation,
 the server may attempt, by ignoring any number of
 non-critical controls (including controls whose criticality
 field is to be ignored as discussed above), a sequence which
 is appropriate for the operation.

What does it do if there is more than one potential result, depending on which of the non-critical controls it ignores? Does it then fail the operation as ambiguous? And does this impose a burden on servers for a combinatorial calculation?
