Might this kind of situation to which Postel's Law applies: Be
conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from
others?

Obviously, Fred had some way to detect that the chunk size in the
header was off by one. Couldn't the Rivendell import system do the
same thing (maybe issuing a warning, but still succeeding)?

Is it a case of being easier to make Rivendell more liberal in what it
accepts than it will be to get third parties to be more conservative
in what they send?
