I tend to think that agents that try to correct "apparent" errors do more

This is a lovely theorectical discussion of how things could work. But before I
bother responding with my own take on this please show me the magic wand you

in common use today that don't work the way you think things should.
A few well-placed servers that routinely bounced everything that was not
standards-compliant would work wonders :-( .
