Attention mark,

 ml> there really isn't any reason for PKTs to be rejected

Doesn't really matter whether or not there is a good reason if indeed they are 
being rejected.

 ml> one could simply determine if the PKT is a Type 2 variant and
 ml> then skip the header entirely

The entire pktheader is ignored here.  There is absolutely nothing there that 
is of any consequence.

 ml> those that do not have certain needed data can be sidelined for
 ml> the operator to deal with...

Understood.  Near as can be determined here is that the entire pktheader as 
well as the first 14 bytes of the msgheader can be safely sent to the bitbucket 
as completely useless data to both humans and machines.  Unfortunetly the same 
cannot be said for links.

End transmission.
