For me, the two parts of this stay in contradiction.
Always throwing if file is not compliant, means never accept broken 
data. Never accept broken data, implies not try to fix it.

Whatever it is called, strict and transitional mode (enable/disable with 
single switch for libLAS utility) or a separate utility trying to 
recover whatever is recoverable from broken data...
The job of implementing those utils repairing broken data produced by 
companies loosely interpreting ASPRS LAS will be on expanses of libLAS.
