Hmm, yep, I can't deny your point that the interop we have isn't based on the draconian rules. But I'm not sure that means the experiment failed. If no client's implementing RFC 3023 and still we have interop then ok, maybe the draconian measures aren't necessary for most uses of the general web. It doesn't really counter points like Tim Bray's about controlled brittleness being desirable in e.g. financial systems. What do PayPal and Amazon do?
