[From RFC1123]

      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:


                "Be liberal in what you accept, and
                 conservative in what you send"

UNIX doesn't let you forget that.
