Fine, then you can add additional sanity checking that conforms to
your narrow view of what should or should not be accepted, and the
system can be set to accept a lower standard for those of us that
choose to implement it.
Bottom line, it can be both ways. You want to hold yourself and your
customers to a higher standard, you are still free to do so, without
forcing your view on the rest of us.
