This is explicitly described as an eventuality that hosts must deal with by the standard (RFC 1191) since older standards specified that those bits must be zero.

One example I have seen is an OpenBSD router terminating IPSec tunnels.
Why doesn't OpenBSD implement RFC 1191? That's a nearly 24 year old standard. I really don't want to allow for zero values.
