If you can't be bothered to accept my shorthand, I can't be bothered to 
view your site :)

"Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send"

I had to go digging for the source of this quote and, although it pops up
all over the RFCs, it seems to be most explicit in RFC1122, section 1.2.2

http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/std/std3.txt

Anyone know if that is the definitive origin ?

Simon.
