Well, an implementation that doesn’t handle segmented strings may be “legitimate”, but it won’t be a complete implementation (and thus not interoperable) if you decide EAT to make no restrictions on generating segmented strings.

It’s a bit like implementing JSON but not allowing backslashes in strings...
