provide it, malformed or not.
Of course, clients should deal with the data as it is collected.
Currently, they are 'shielded' from non-conformant extra-info decriptors,
b/c CollecTor drops them. After the change some might trip over that newly
available data. I intended to find out what the change would trigger, for
example what additional work we'd have with clients like Onionoo etc.
