Irrespective of what SPC-4 says, from the point of view
of an OS or user space tools, this is just a mess.
I'd reckon about 80% of devices get the illogical "right"
answer (invalid field in cdb), 15% get the logical "wrong"
answer, and as for the rest well that depends on which
command you send :-)
A suggestion: for SPC-5 deprecate INVALID COMMAND OPERATION
CODE and the use of INVALID FIELD IN CDB for service actions.
Then introduce a new additional sense for both cases: for
example "COMMAND NOT SUPPORTED".
