Based on my past experience, I'd expect them to be ignored, but I can't think of a reason why a 400 would be a bad idea (but I suspect there's some prior art / discussion out there).

Good question! I think it’s a great idea to look outside OpenStack-land to see what’s going on in the wider world of APIs.

One example is listing containers in the Docker API [1]. A number of other resources will also return a 400 if a bad parameter is used.
