We fixed it voluntarily, but...

No where in the RFC810 (even the updated one) does it say
what is legal with respect to CPU type or Operating system.

Obviously you assume that these entries follow that of the
"<name>".  Not so, only the hostnames, netname, and gatename
fields depend on this.  It is clear that this isn't so.  The
examples for cputype list PDP-11/70 and C/30, neither of which
conforms to the
 "<letter>[*[<letter-or-digit-or-hyphen>]<letter or digit>]"
style.
