The intended status of this document doesn't give any kind of standard status to malformations. It recommends the safest way of handling them if you're in an environment where you have to do so rather than simply rejecting them. And the reality is that we (the industry) usually have to do that, so it seems like a good idea to share the collected wisdom about the best/safest way to do so.


Perhaps we need to add a new document classification, given this long-term need to acknowledge and deal with real-world operational pragmatics and the benefit of regularizing them: Best Current Bad Practices

I've heard the suggestion of LWP - Least Worst Practise - before.
