I wonder how many RFC's it violates. An interface must only answer ARP's

Not true. See RFC 1122, section 3.3.4. The standard leaves this
decision up to the implementation, for good reason.
RFC1122 is a document about multicast. ARP is broadcast see the very old
RFC826/STD0037. Multicast didn't even work on much of the hardware from
the times that that document was written.
??? RFC 1122 is the Hosts Requirements RFC. It applies to any host
implementing IP. Maybe you're thinking of 1112?
