Ignore ing



Does anyone actually obey this phrase from rfc2251 section 4?

   "clients and servers MUST ignore elements of SEQUENCE
    encodings whose tags they do not recognize."

I begun to wonder because ber_scanf does not help at all; we have to
read one element at a time and use ber_peek_tag() between each in order
to skip elements with unknown tags.  I suggested two ber_scanf formats
and a ber_skip_tags() function in the C API to help out some time ago,
but got no response.
