"People understand instinctively that the best way for computer
 programs to communicate with each other is for each of them to be
 strict in what they emit, and liberal in what they accept.  The odd
 thing is that people themselves are not willing to be strict in how
 they speak and liberal in how they listen.  You'd think that would
 also be obvious."

 - Larry Wall, inventor of the Perl programming language.
