So, we just told the same. And I do not see, where it is a change in protocol. As origin and answering side are not doing anything with akas they can not match, it is no problem not presenting these akas. That means, we do not have a change in protocol, but only a more sofisticated handling of akas by the software. I like it. I would not have a use case for that upto now, but I like it.
