No doubt, they are, they break the "be conservative in what you send" 
principle. I'm no way happy about such implementations either.

It is still no excuse for implementations breaking the "be liberal
in what you receive" principle.

Remember that "running code" refers to deployed code. To deploy, you
need interoperability. Receiver's liberalism is a much better 
interoperability strategy than strict spell-checking, imho. I'm
sure there are lot if historical evidences in the Internet.

One can, we do so, it works, it works even with lr=foobar, and it increases 
the number of UAs with which the server interoperates, which is good. We 
don't operate with the values -- we only operate with presence of the
parameter, which is what it is all about.
