-To allow for future extensibility, clients MUST ignore address types that they do not know about.
-Client MAY store and gossip address formats that they do not know about. Further network ID numbers MUST be reserved in a new BIP document.
+Clients are RECOMMENDED to gossip addresses from all known networks even if they are currently not connected to some of them. That could help multi-homed nodes and make it more difficult for an observer to tell which networks a node is connected to.

+Clients SHOULD NOT gossip addresses from unknown networks because they have no means to validate those addresses and so can be tricked to gossip invalid addresses.
