In Section 6.1:

"Recipients that trigger certain connection behavior based on the presence of connection options MUST do so based on the presence of the connection-option rather than only the presence of the optional header field. In other words, if the connection option is received as a header field but not indicated within the Connection field-value, then the recipient MUST ignore the connection-specific header field because it has likely been forwarded by an intermediary that is only partially conformant.

I am flagging the usage of a requirement followed by the "must ignore" requirement as an issue as the "in other words" suggest that it is a clarification of the first requirement.

Rewritten as a single ought, with explanation, in [2471].
