I also agree with Mike's view.  It would be unfortunate to find some  
gateway or MTA is not accommodated which represents some percentage  
of users.  Until testing is more complete, the minor change afforded  
by the relaxed body canonicalization may represent something  
statistically significant.  If not, it should be removed.  Having  
information makes this choice an easier call, where removing this  
option now will negate an ability to collect information that  
isolates the problem.
