Paraphrasing Jon Postel's rule for TCP servers on the Internet, "Be liberal 
in what you accept, strict in what you send."

The idea is, Internet is a better behaved place if servers are generous in 
the kinds of input the receive, but strict in adherence to rules when 
sending information to other clients and servers.

The same idea works wonderfully for people, too.
