My sentiments exactly. Make it standards compliant then add tweaks. I also strongly support the sentiment of another poster who suggested that evo only emit fully compliant messages. Thus evo would always send standards-compliant messages, would read and properly display standards-compliant messages and make a good effort of reading messages that do not abide by the standards but are emitted commonly. That is emitted by enough broken clients that attempting to deal with them would add significant value to users.
