It is acceptable for a server to return controls to clients.  Some extensions,
such as for paging, require it.  What the client does is up to the client - 
it is 'internal' as it doesn't trigger a response to the server and so isn't
called out in 2251, other than the criticality flag.  A noncritical 
unrecognized control is ignorable.
