It’s worse than satire. Postel’s Law is definitively wrong, at least in the context of network protocols, and delimiters, especially, MUST be precise. See, for example:

Send exactly what the spec requires, and parse exactly as the spec requires. Do not accept garbage. And LF, where CRLF is specified, is garbage.
