It's targetted at interoperability across the Internet. We can never stop
people doing whatever they please inside a private domain, obviously.
As always, there are no protocol police.

We had a lot of this conversation in a slightly different form prior to
RFC 6437. It proved impossible to specify "local domain" rules that could
reach consensus. I think we'd have the same problem trying to write rules
for header insertion/deletion within a domain. But in any case, that isn't
the target for RFC2460bis: the target is the Internet.
