In theory, I think it is unfair to expect a mail client to be "very
permissive" on the receiving end. Or, at least I think it would be
unfair if people started calling things 'bugs' if they weren't as
permissive of broken standards as they wanted them to be.

However, in practice, I think you're advice is probably the best I've
ever seen. Ideally we should be very permissive in receiving. That's
just my opinion though so please don't interpret it as a promise that
BSW is going to do or not do anything specific.
