It is not "ignored", as it is handled by the conversion functions the
functionality of which is not touched. The paper is just about storing
the information in the strings (including the "encoding brand" and
"bytes per element") fields.
So the actual meaning of the stuff that is stored in the strings is
beyond the scope of the paper. And supposed to stay as it currently is.
