   RFCs are about interoperability.  If you stick to the RFCs, you can
be pretty sure that things will mostly work most of the time.  It's not
perfect, but what is?

   Besides, just from a most reward for least effort perspective,  it
would be a lot easier to write a quick mail filter that would convert
hard line stops to flowing text (and vice-versa) than getting everybody
else in the world to agree to a new format.
