There is a difference in semantics of checks. The checks below and above 
the OSI level of the format are outside the scope of format. One thing 
is to check a string against a database of client names and another to 
check its length or validity of UTF-8 encoding.

Do you check ASCII characters? No, because they are densely encoded. If 
error-correction etc is needed it is added below.
