Team,

In section 4 Message Format says:
The 'Message Length' field is a 16-bit unsigned integer in network
byte order. It provides the length of the subsequent CoAP message
(including the CoAP header but excluding this message length field)
in bytes (so its minimum value is 2). The Message ID and message
type are meaningless and thus elided (what would have been the
message type field is always filled with what would be the code for
NON (01)).

What would happen if an Application where to place a CON in the message type field. Based on my reading of this text I would expect the message type from the  application to be ignored and the transport to put in a NON message. Is that correct?

BR,
Tim
