VTP Transparent Mode Relay Caveat

As I get my fingers back in shape for the Lab I figured a little VTP practice tonight was in order.  VTP is fairly straightforward, so I wasn't expecting anything unusual when I started in on a little bit of config with a transparent VTP switch...

I've previously run under the assumption that a VTP transparent switch will relay VTP frames as long as it is in the same domain as the VTP frame it receives.  If there's a mismatch then the frame is discarded.  Well, this is still true, but there's a third scenario that I hadn't ever really considered before: the domain is set to NULL.
