Well, one could argue that RFC 2891 inappropriate overloads the
criticality field of the control by use it to imply different
semantics upon recognized and supported controls.  That's an
issue which likely should be addressed during the eventual
revision of RFC 2891.

It can be applied by the specification of any control for use
with that control.
