I don't like the mandate that strings have to be inspected at
compile time-- a "MAY" would be preferable.

I don't like the possibility of an error spuriously occuring during
delivery.

re-reading 2.10.6 of RFC 3028, MUST may seem inappropriate, but on the
other hand, that section allows implementation to not have a
"compile-time" at all.
