Whenever a server receives an event from a remote server, the receiving server must ensure that the event:

  1. Is a valid event, otherwise it is dropped.
  2. ...

Issue
Presumably "valid" means

  • contains a room_id key
  • the format of the event complies with the Event PDU Format in that room's room version.

This just narrows the problem to "what does it mean to comply with a PDU format?".

What happens if an event comes in with some other top-level key that's not specified by the room version format? I would guess that we ought to ignore such an event; but I don't know if that's the intent of the spec or the existing practice.

I think this is the same as #365?
