I expect players to follow the rules of the game unless they clear it with the DM first. It doesn't matter if I'm DM or a player in someone else's game.
I feel sorry for any DM if a player feels otherwise. It's an uncomfortable situation not only for the DM, but in the few times I experienced it (I was not the DM), for the other players as well.
And a flavor choice based on an older edition of the game shouldn't be a rule.
