Rejecting traffic that does not conform to the spec, even if it's in
common use is counter-intuitive. It seems to be denying yourself
access to some of the incoming traffic for the sake of pedantry, which
sounds like it would harm interoperability. But, of course, the point
of having a spec is interoperability.
