%%
%%   Receivers of a Grouped AVP that does not have the 'M' (mandatory)
%%   bit set and one or more of the encapsulated AVPs within the group
%%   has the 'M' (mandatory) bit set MAY simply be ignored if the
%%   Grouped AVP itself is unrecognized. The rule applies even if the
%%   encapsulated AVP with its 'M' (mandatory) bit set is further
%%   encapsulated within other sub-groups, i.e., other Grouped AVPs
%%   embedded within the Grouped AVP.
%%
%% The first sentence is slightly mangled, but take it to mean this:
%%
%%   An unrecognized AVP of type Grouped that does not set the 'M' bit
%%   MAY be ignored even if one of its encapsulated AVPs sets the 'M'
%%   bit.
%%
%% The text above is a change from RFC 3588, which instead says this:
%%
%%   Further, if any of the AVPs encapsulated within a Grouped AVP has
%%   the 'M' (mandatory) bit set, the Grouped AVP itself MUST also
%%   include the 'M' bit set.
%%
%% Both of these texts have problems. If the AVP is unknown then its
%% type is unknown since the type isn't sent over the wire, so the
%% 6733 text becomes a non-statement: don't know that the AVP not
%% setting the M-bit is of type Grouped, therefore can't know that its
%% data consists of encapsulated AVPs, therefore can't but ignore that
%% one of these might set the M-bit. It should be no worse if we know
%% the AVP to have type Grouped.
%%
%% Similarly, for the 3588 text: if we receive an AVP that doesn't set
%% the M-bit and don't know that the AVP has type Grouped then we
%% can't realize that its data contains an AVP that sets the M-bit, so
%% can't regard the AVP as erroneous on this account. Again, it should
%% be no worse if the type is known to be Grouped, but in this case
%% the RFC forces us to regard the AVP as erroneous. This is
%% inconsistent, and the 3588 text has never been enforced.
%%
%% So, if an AVP doesn't set the M-bit then we're free to ignore it,
%% regardless of the AVP's type. If we know the type to be Grouped
%% then we must ignore the M-bit on an encapsulated AVP. That means
%% packing such an encapsulated AVP into an 'AVP' field if need be,
%% not regarding the lack of a specific field as an error as is
%% otherwise the case. (The lack of an AVP-specific field being how we
%% defined the RFC's "unrecognized", which is slightly stronger than
%% "not defined".)

%%    In the case where the offending AVP is embedded within a Grouped AVP,

%%    the single offending AVP.  The same method MAY be employed if the
%%    grouped AVP itself is embedded in yet another grouped AVP and so on.
%%    In this case, the Failed-AVP MAY contain the grouped AVP hierarchy up
%%    to the single offending AVP.  This enables the recipient to detect
%%    the location of the offending AVP when embedded in a group.

%% An error in decoding a component AVP throws the first fauly
%% component, which the catch in d/3 wraps in the Grouped AVP in
%% question. A partially decoded record is only used when ignoring
%% errors in Failed-AVP.
