Yeah, but we don't _need_ (2) to have accomplished something useful.

Maybe (2) never gets done.  Even if (2) is never specified, most admins 
will not need it because they don't intend on forwarding them anywhere 
anyway and, secondly, if they do want to forward them, they at least 
have something to base automated forwarding of some to select 
hand-crafted destinations.
