Ron,
the fact that the control is understood is guaranteed by the fact that the
DSA didn't reject the request with unavailableCriticalExtension; it would
be acceptable for the control response to be absent if not needed. This
is true, of course for critical controls. I'd favor this case.

this should be the behavior when the control is not critical.
