It was a long time ago, but as I recall since there's a bit telling 
whether to use the mask, it didn't seem important.  I guess the idea is 
they didn't want any divergence between what an intermediary may see who 
ignores or doesn't ignore the server-side mask, and what the endpoint 
sees who may have a different plan about the serverside mask bit 
observance if it wasn't strictly specified.

Does this help?
