Skimming through the RFC, the previous approach of having containers for most
fields seems unfounded for normal protocol operation. The new weirds could just
as well be considered protocol violations. Outside of duplicated or missed data
they just shouldn't happen for well-behaved client/server behavior.
Additionally, with non-conformant traffic it would be trivial to cause
unbounded state growth and immense log record sizes.
Unfortunately, things have become a bit clunky now.
