I guess some people really need that functionality.

But is all of it needed?

;pedantic=yes                   ; Enable checking of tags in headers,
                                ; international character conversions in URIs
                                ; and multiline formatted headers for strict
                                ; SIP compatibility (defaults to "no")

If there a reasonable chance that a potential broken device that needs
such a backward-compatibility[1] option actually diverts from the
standard in all fronts? Or would it make sense to split it into several
sub-options (technically: make it a bit field)?

[1] Be compatible with those who got things backwards.
