+
+Runtimes MAY also implement custom option strings that are not listed in the table above.
+If a custom option string is already recognized by [`mount(8)`][mount.8], the runtime SHOULD follow the behavior of [`mount(8)`][mount.8].
+
+Runtimes SHOULD pass unknown options to [`mount(2)`][mount.2] via the fifth argument (`const void *data`).
