Let's be VERY careful here.  It treads quite dangerously toward the problems
associated with coddling bad tools.  That a given tool doesn't PROPERLY
throw errors on this 1.1 format is a BAD SIGN for that tool.

Again, it does little to build any real credibility to base acceptance based
on the failure to disrupt bad tools.
