Charm school graduate I see ;-).
The top and bottom of it is, that you are mostly correct in your assertions
about RFCs and, if we could just get the most popular MUAs on the market to
stick to some of them, everything would indeed be a good deal easier.
You cannot however simply quote RFCs repeatedly as some sort of Mantra, exim
is compliant, many things aren't. (Look at how many MTAs provide options to
deliberately introduce non-compliance to aid interoperability).
I mean wouldn't it be nice if just simple things could be relied upon, like
syntactically correct addresses and DNS entries ;-).
