I really don't think this rises to SHOULD. Most MUA filters, for example,
aren't terribly complicated so I'd be pretty worried as an admin that users
using that might get confused if there were more than one to choose from.
Deciding to strip it as a matter of policy seems like a pretty 
reasonable thing
since it has the potential to cause grief. That and there's nothing that 
we can
do to prevent people from stripping it regardless of what the draft says.
