And this is exactly what's going to happen with gemini too.  The second
you have >=2 clients around, there's going to be a race to accept the
widest range of content, regardless of errors.  Besides pleaces where it
puts users' privacy/security at risk, clients can never be expected to
police complience of the document with the spec.  (After all, the client
user is almost always someone entirely unresponsible for the generation
of the document.)
