I think the table you are quoting is the equivalent of table 87 in rev. 22,
which list requirements for doing byte-by-byte checking. This requirement is
consistent in that the protection information bytes are not checked per the
rules for checking protection bytes, but they are part of the byte-by-byte
comparing. The table requires the drive to generate different sense bytes
depending on whether the miscompare occurs in the user data ( regular
MISCOMPARE bytes specified in text earlier in the VERIFY command
description) or in one of the protection information fields.
