Whilst reading your post, I was wondering "What would happen if
someone were to use a UA string something like 'FF 99.60.1' or 'SM
99.53.1'"
O.K., maybe the '99' might be a little far fetched, but, rather then
spoofing the newest version UA or a near future UA, spoof a far future
UA and see if it would (always) be 'acceptable'!!
It's certainly possible, although something that's too far away from
something reasonable might get you noticed. There's a lot of botnet
traffic out there that shows forged UAs, and some web site admins may
set their sites to reject connections from UAs that are obviously bogus.

Valid ... but that would mean that admins might get away with, say, FF
70, but, in the not to distant future, they'd be adjusting their filters
to FF 80, or something higher, again.
