This stripe is totally against breed standard. Are the shows more lax about

Just a quick note.
Thought..many Americans are breeding European Warmbloods,
inspections and all. Those that don't go through the inspections..tend
to go towards the generic "breed associations""American Warmblood", etc,
etc..

believe that's what the discussion is about.
Breed Type basically says nothing about the different uses of the horse
