Absolutely - though (and given I don't personally generate the form that
exposes the addresses) no-one has reported any problems, and I do use it
quite a bit - including sending to fairly clueless users. The empty
group-list form is the easy one for MUA's to deal with though, all they
need to do is ignore it.
But like many things, there's a chicken and egg problem - as long as nothing
seems able to deal with these, everyone will avoid using them. As long as
everyone avoids using them, no-one bothers implementing sane handling for them.
And from the other message from you ...
| This, and the other option you propose, end up being a little hard to deal

I wasn't actually proposing anything - I was giving an example of the kind
of syntax that someone who actually wanted to propose this might want to
adopt. If I thought it would be easy to make this work, I'd probably do
it, but I don't, so...
