In the 5+ years I've been involved with Asterisk, I cannot remember any
case where someone enabled pedantic mode and then had to disable it
because a device was unable to interoperate with Asterisk. With that
said, though, the vast majority of Asterisk systems never have pedantic
mode enabled, so that's not a very representative sample of the possible
endpoint problems we might experience.

Given what 'pedantic' currently controls, I really can't come up with
any scenarios where an endpoint could expect us to work properly by
*not* doing the pedantic checking/parsing. All of the pedantic toggles
just increase Asterisk's RFC compliance.
