The fact that MTAs will do one thing with, for example, malformed

I'd be willing to bet that such differences represent a vector for
(for example) mail-based trojans.
I agree that in the event that MIME is incorrect, there is strong
pressure to do *something* with it, and we should try to ensure that
that something is aligned.
It may be that the discussion suggests rejecting, in which case I
suggest the document should clearly explain why, and what the
implications of not doing so are, beyond "it makes some problems
harder to diagnose".
