I know Barry's a big supporter of the Postel Principle. As a guideline[1], how far back should we be lenient? RFC 822 (no leading "2" ;-)? Footnotes: [1] Presumably over time we'll accrete definitely non-conforming practices that we need to accept and do something sane with (eg, we can't just raise ArmageddonException because we get a header with 8-bit characters in it). But I think we also should have a plan for formerly acceptable syntax that has been restricted in more recent RFCs, etc. _______________________________________________ Email-SIG mailing list Email-SIG@python.org Your options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/email-sig/archive%40mail-archive.com
