Are the features described in the "Advanced uses" section considered
mandatory, optional, or something else?
Are they normative?
I've always considered Noise Pipes to be non-normative, which is why
I left "XXfallback" out of the pattern specification:
"pattern": "NN|KN|NK|KK|NX|KX|XN|IN|XK|IK|XX|IX|XR|N|K|X",
It's not clear to me whether the test vector format should support
non-normative optional extensions.
