The use of MUST, etc, originated in RFC1122 in 1989. That RFC also
contains this:
1.2.2 Robustness Principle
At every layer of the protocols, there is a general rule whose
application can lead to enormous benefits in robustness and
interoperability [IP:1]:
"Be liberal in what you accept, and
conservative in what you send"
This quote is also on the RFC1122 working group coffee cup on my shelf.
It seems to apply here.
