There are certainly parts of TOS that should not be held as canon by anyone. "United Earth Space Probe Agency", anyone?

I don't know about that. Like the individual assignment patches, they still reference it in Enterprise, so apparently they were trying to make that fit in to everything else.

Yeah, you can retcon all you want, but the universe makes a little more sense if you recognize that they were still figuring stuff out and it doesn't count.
