As you cited, RFC 5322 describes three ways that the "Bcc" field is
typically used.  You're talking about just one of those, and I'm not sure
it's the most common one.  In any case, I suggest that "should" is a bit of
a leap, especially given that the choice of which of the three to use is
described as "implementation dependent".

The second part of your citation confirms the risk to which I was referring.
