Compatibility Considerations
This extension is supposed not to disturb any reader system which complies
to this SUSP-1.10 demand:
"6.2 Requirements for a Receiving System
[...]
Any System Use Field which the receiving system does not recognize
is to be ignored and skipped."
SUSP-1.12 extends this prescription by:
"Any System Use Entry, with the exception of the set of System Use Entries
defined in this document, following an "ES" System Use Entry that indicates
an extension specification which the receiving system does not recognize
shall be ignored and skipped."
According to SUSP-1.12 the ER entry is mandatory for a conformant extension.
It also prescribes that in the case that ER entries of RRIP and AAIP are
present, then ES entries shall be used to separate RRIP entries from AAIP
entries.
SUSP-1.10 does not specify ES entires at all and allows to have extension
entries without announcing them by a ER entry. So if a second ER entry is
not bearable, then the SUSP-1.10 downgrade of of AAIP allows to omit the
AAIP ER and the ES entries. But if there is the AAIP ER then there must be ES
at the appropriate paces.
