Section 5.10.7 says:

If any
of these reserved option numbers occurs in addition to Location-Path
and/or Location-Query and are not supported, then a 4.02 (Bad Option)
error MUST be returned.

It should say:

If any
of these reserved option numbers occurs in addition to Location-Path
and/or Location-Query and are not supported, then the response MUST
be rejected (Sections 4.2 and 4.3).

Notes:

The Location-* options are used in responses. A client cannot return a 4.02 (Bad Option) response in reply to a response. The correct behavior is to reject the response.
