I think that this a reasonable compromise, even if I'm not 100% happy with it.

Part of what we are attempting to do here is establish what the common intersection is between implementations.  Some tolerance for errors in streams is awful, but it seems inevitable that there will be pressures to be tolerant that have more force than anything we might define here.  Maybe that's a little too cynical, but there you go.

If you accept that thesis, it doesn't necessarily follow that errors will remain hidden or go unpunished (if punitive measures are your thing).  All we need is some non-negligible portion of the deployed base, as encountered by new implementations, both client and server, to make these stream errors more visible in some way.
