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.

                Mike
