Sometimes ignoring a problem really does make it go away. Install a  
workaround, on the other hand, and the brokenness remains non-obvious  
so it persists.

I'm not advocating going around and breaking implementations that  
don't fully conform with specs on purpose, but if doing the right  
thing means that out-of-spec implementations see some problems, I can  
usually live with that.
