I would like to make a comment that the Seal has far less force here than any
RFC or even sons of RFCs or intents of RFCs. The Seal is just some guys
attempt to collect a checklist of correct behaviours in one place. There is
room for disagreement with his ideas, especially if you understand the RFCs
and their intents.
On the other hand many violations of the Seal are by people who definitely
think they more than everyone else and don't understand the reasons the
behaviours specified in the Seal are considered correct. I don't think this is
really such a case. The Gnus author understands the RFC and its intent clearly
and understands the implications of the decision.
I think restoring the style of Subject headers the RFCs require rather than
constructing increasingly bizarre headers in the interest of following some
arbitrary formulation of a rule intended to avoid such headers is better.
