Perhaps I was mis-understood.
I suggested to discard pictures which are not used for reference despite these pictures are displayed. Thus the decoding process can be accelerated.
I think this is a popular action implemented in many decoders to cope with performance peaks.
Frankly speaking a stream can contain dangling fields which some decoders do not display.
