I think Richard's point, though, was that while it does nothing now, you have 
no way of knowing when it will start having meaning.  Sending garbage headers 
is sloppy, and opens yourself up to the environment changing out from under 
you.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
