So perhaps two main modes should be --canonicalize (default) and --canonicalize-missing (with missing=True)? That sounds reasonable. And I think strict should be the default.

--canonicalize is not strict. --canonicalize-existing is most strict and --canonicalize-missing is least strict. When you have a function which have non-strict behavior (--canonicalize), you can implement a wrapper with strict behavior (--canonicalize-existing), but not vice verse.
