You expect i'd log all the site headers i have recieved over the last 16 years?
No, just the ones that caused problems. Or at least the URLs which caused enough problems that you had to go back and change your code. (You imply that you did see a not-super-strictly-rfc-compliant header at some point in time and that it made your code crash or something, requiring you to change it - otherwise, how would you even know that this was more than a purely hypothetical problem?)
No, i was not going to save over 4000 headers per hour for examination later.
That's under 10 megabytes of data a day - so doing this for one day doesn't seem unreasonable.
But, there's no great hurry on this either. If it takes you more than a couple of years to get enough spare time to track down an example, the world is unlikely to end in the meantime. (Although if the problem was very widespread, I'd expect someone else to report details on it long before that.)
Even then, I feel that it makes sense to apply the "m_sabal standard" here.
