This paragraph -- apparently written with a straight face -- brought
to my mind this particularly appropriate quotation:

   This debate [over UUCP rerouting] is about whether any person
   can reliably know everything others know, want, and do.  Some
   people believe the answer is yes.  The rest of us are amazed.

The Great Header Rewriting Debate breaks down along the same lines.
No one can reliably know the form of all addresses that will be
accepted as valid on another person's machine.  If one neighbor site
generates addresses that cannot be understood by another neighbor
site, what business is that of yours?  Correct answer:  "None."
