+Whether or not to regard an AVP setting the M-bit as erroneous when
+the command grammar in question does not explicitly allow the AVP.
+If <c>true</c> then such AVPs are regarded as 5001 errors,
+DIAMETER_AVP_UNSUPPORTED.
+If <c>false</c> then the M-bit is ignored and policing
+it becomes the receiver's responsibility.</p>
+
+<p>
+Defaults to <c>true</c>.</p>
+
+<warning>
+<p>
+RFC 6733 is unclear about the semantics of the M-bit.
+One the one hand, the CCF specification in section 3.2 documents AVP
+in a command grammar as meaning <b>any</b> arbitrary AVP; on the
+other hand, 1.3.4 states that AVPs setting the M-bit cannot be added
+to an existing command: the modified command must instead be
+placed in a new Diameter application.</p>
+<p>
+The reason for the latter is presumably interoperability:
+allowing arbitrary AVPs setting the M-bit in a command makes its
+interpretation implementation-dependent, since there's no
+guarantee that all implementations will understand the same set of
+arbitrary AVPs in the context of a given command.
+However, interpreting <c>AVP</c> in a command grammar as <b>any</b>
+AVP, regardless of M-bit, renders 1.3.4 meaningless, since the receiver
+can simply ignore any AVP it thinks isn't relevant, regardless of the
+sender's intent.</p>
+<p>
+Beware of confusing mandatory in the sense of the M-bit with mandatory
+in the sense of the command grammar.
+The former is a semantic requirement: that the receiver understand the
+semantics of the AVP in the context in question.
+The latter is a syntactic requirement: whether or not the AVP must
+occur in the message in question.</p>
