IPP> Handling of invalid "request-id"

Suppose the Printer object, while parsing an IPP requests, fails to =
validate the "request-id" in the incoming payload (because the packet was =
incomplete or because the value is not between 1 and 2**31-1). The =
documents indicates that the Printer object should return a 'client-error-b=
ad-request' status code. That's fine; now my question: What request-id =
should the Printer object include in the response (I'm assuming that =
responses with error status codes must also include version, request-id, =
charset, etc.)? Should 0 be used to handle this cases?
