Okay. New wording:

    o Where an article is obtained from an external source an
      implementation MAY pass it on, and derive data from it (such as
      the response to the HDR command), even though the article or the
      data does not meet the above requirements.  Implementations MUST
      transfer such articles and data correctly and unchanged; they MUST
      NOT attempt to convert or re-encode the article or derived data.
      (Nevertheless, a client or server MAY elect not to post or forward
      the article if, after further examination of the article, it deems
      it inappropriate to do so.)
