Perhaps the user doesn't *want* those "useful" things done for him.
Perhaps he knows what he is doing and is already doing *exactly* what he
wants to do.  Very slippery slope!

(Not that I think there is a remote chance that such an exit node would
not be marked as a bad exit just on general principles.  I just wanted
to point out that I find this "nanny state" attitude of "we know better
than you" offensive.  It's bad enough when ISPs break NXDOMAIN, etc.
Although I doubt that you meant any harm.  :-)
