Sorry if I'm not being productive.  I'm irritated at broken mail

Hmmm ... I wonder if producing a conformance suite might be a solution
to this problem.

   Perhaps it would.   The audience of such document isn't exactly
the software authors, but the hordes of clueless sysadmins who do
all kinds of weird (and wrong) things with the software.
