So you are saying that if don't give a '-nostrict" argument to the
utility that checks for standard conformance the line length limit is
998 characters, but I give a "-strict argument the line length limit
will be 72 characters?
Well ... I hate things like "-strict", because that is a term which is
very subjective.
As I read the man page for the utility the default is -nostrict. :-)
Let's move to IETF termology and use -should and -must. I'm sure others
will speak up, but MY understanding is the IETF default is "-should -must".
Then perhaps -nomust is a synonym for -should and -noshould for -must?

So I guess my mind is little.
