I'm inclined to think it isn't worth the effort, myself.  I think a "validating" client would be a valuable tool, but that that isn't what the stdlib is focused on.  But yes, let's hear Senthil's opinion.

(That said, I am in fact adding a lot of validation capabilities to the email package...but in general those are only a matter of exposing the information about parsing failures that the code then has to recover from, rather than adding extra parsing to detect non-compliance.)
