If you are positive that your software will do the right thing with 
malformed messages, and you are sure that nobody will ever try to exploit 
any possible bugs or mis-interpretations that might occur, and that nobody 
will ever assign semantics to those messages in the future, then don't 
bother to validate.

Not many systems meet those criteria.
