While what you say in https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1808#c6769 is
probably right, and real
systems wouldn't do that, systems looking for holes in the spec,
and/or applications would - it is the kind of thing that santitzers
do all the time.  Garbage, but legal, input, generated for the whole
purpose of defeating the system.

Since it is known now (and also as nothing about what is resolved
in this issue is going to see the light of day for years) it would
make sense to me to defer this, and look for a good solution, and
eventually specify that, rather than specify something which is
just "extremely unlikely" to fail, when we already know how to make
that happen.
