Whitespace before responses

<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging-14#section-3.1> says:

   In the interest of robustness, servers SHOULD ignore at least one
   empty line received where a Request-Line is expected.  In other
   words, if the server is reading the protocol stream at the beginning
   of a message and receives a CRLF first, it SHOULD ignore the CRLF.

Should a similar approach be taken when clients parse responses?
