I think Leigh made clear that he was questioning whether we should spend so much time making pages (and people) "wrong".

Telling someone they are wrong because they don't follow a rule that they don't understand or don't see a benefit to is a *must* position. Explaining how the httpRange-14 rule is better than another is explaining the *benefits* of having different identifiers. -Lin
