From @jricher's WGLC review

§5: This doesn't really say what the receiver of the Want- fields has to do. If there's no obligation to fulfill it (which I think is the case), we should state that explicitly here.

We borrowed heavily the text from RFC 3230, we can add more clarification as suggested

The Digest and Content-Digest sections state that a sender MAY send anything.
Additionally stating that there is no obligation to follow Want- fields SGTM.

Since RFC3230 does not specify that, server can implement any behavior (either 2xx or 4xx). See

We decided to avoid normative statements on that, but I'm open to suggestions.
