If the article is not present, then you can't cancel it. if you cant
cancel it, then you dont forward the cancel message.

Thats pretty unambiguous to me. Its also the intent of the passage.

You are clearly violating the RFC. There is no quesiton about it.
If you want to ignore that passage, fine. However, don't pretend to
comply with it.
