Probably, but there's a codicil, due originally to I no longer remember
whom:

"Do not be *too* liberal in what you accept, lest you encourage people
to misbehave and push the costs thereof onto you."

If there's a system, people will game it.  And Postel's Law was writen
when there were effectively no Bad Actors on the Net.
