In some R&D I'm doing I'm comparing numerous MTAs about how they handle things like a non-header line before CRLF between the header and body. I'm trying to figure out if there's a rough consensus among them about how to handle such exceptions.

Documenting the exception handling is useful.

Would a compilation of the results of that investigation be a useful candidate for publication as a BCP or Informational?

I suggest Informational. If you are aiming for consensus on how to handle the exceptions, it can end up being more work that it is worth.
