SHOULD NOT more or less means don't do this unless you're sure you understand what you're doing. Given how few mail users understand header parsing and mail routing, SHOULD NOT seems right to me. If you, one of the few users familiar with the details of SMTP mail, want to do it, go ahead. For the bazillion users of some random consumer mail system, let their mail system admins handle it.
