-- Section 3.
   Use cases that require the use of Chunked OHTTP SHOULD only use the
   chunked media types for their requests, to indicate that Chunked
   OHTTP is required.  If the gateway unexpectedly does not support
   Chunked OHTTP, then the request will fail as if OHTTP as a whole were
   not supported.  If clients retry requests with the non-chunked media
   type, a gateway could partition client anonymity sets by rejecting
   some requests and accepting others.
-- Section 7
   Specifically, clients SHOULD NOT fall back from Chunked OHTTP to the
   non-chunked variant if they are configured to used chunking.  Falling
   back would allow clients to have inconsistent behavior that could be
   used to partition client anonymity sets.

The text in Sections 3 and 7 appears to describe the risk for “non-chucked media types”. Since allowing fallback in not prohibited, when would this be acceptable?
