As has been mentioned elsethread, a number of techniques which are 
increasingly necessary for survival are not RFC-compliant. 

Many RFCs were written when the Internet was kinder, gentler, and MUCH
less dangerous than it is now. They have not changed, though the 'Net
certainly has. Blind adherence to them in the face of evidence that 
that adherence opens windows of vulnerability is not necessarily dood
or wise.
