@michael-o IMHO because an invalid header value will push most parsing code
to the error handling code path. And only by additional rules should that code
handle it like a valid header in the past. Your chances of client software
compatibility are higher than by sending an invalid value. This of course is
not an especially strong argument. I simply wanted to provide a real-world
example, where it currently does make a difference.
