I can understand thinking that this is a 'flip' side, but as I
recall, there was different intent that drove the two-three
rules.
The core problem with doing any serious processing after
crlf.crlf is that it can take an unbounded amount of time,
plus Internet delays can get interesting. All of which can
run things up to the timeout when that's not intended.
A big timeout is not meant to mean that one can take lots of
time...
That is certainly how I've always understood it.
