	I think the following principal applies here - be tolerant in what
you accept and precise in what you produce. In other words try always to
produce strict conformance to the standards and accept material that does
not conform whenever it can be done without causing problems. Following
this principle tends to maximise interoperability which is the main reason
for having standards in the first place.
