>>Whether 90% of the world uses it or not, the point is that the problem
is your software doesn't comply with the established standards.  Why should
everyone who has software that complies be incumbered with the limitations
of the bugs in software that doesn't.  The reason we have an IETF and RFCs
is to allow interoperability and the ability to depend on capabilities
implemented according to standards.<<

Right, does your mail server do strict enforcement of RFC 821 standards or
do you accept mail from microsoft Outlook users since it doesn't adhere to
821? So what does that say about your attitude towards what 90% of the
people use?
