Ended up realizing this right after I sent this version of the RFC - yeah, it
definitely shouldn't be causing any real problems as of now

So-I saw this too, but notice the use of the language "A /DP Branch/ device with
multiple DFPs shall report the detailed…". This makes me think it's implying
that this is a requirement for MSTBs and not SST sinks, just a guess.
