I think there's conflicting compliances.

p.865 C14-53 and C14-54.1.1 state the behavior I originally said (an not
active SM responds to SMInfo gets/sets). I think this superceeds the
first bullet in C14-70 which says incoming SMInfos are dropped.

With that interpretation, does this make sense now ?
