I must apologise for the troll ... I knew you would respond this way.

Randy, you bring nothing new, here. The ABNF is already a MUST. Repeating a law you cannot enforce is not what is expected. What is expected is you to define the verdict when your MUST is disregarded. You know that we will not respect that MUST. We fully documented it, we have an on-line site for that - and most probably many others will do it because - as Prof. F. Charles documented it - it does not make sense. I know you do not care about others, but nevertheless there will be a group of users (may be substantial) who will disregard the MUST. What the general developper wants to know is what is him to do in that case. I propose two responses. You may have another one.
