Sure. Standards like this shouldn't represent code, they should represent data. Terabytes of data in the wild that doesn't adhere to more strict standards needs an interpretation, and starting with the interpretation supplied by the browsers seems sane to me.

For a stricter interpretation, you are welcome to use the IETF RFCs.
