Non-standard transactions are allowed-by-default on the test network. So people can test things out.
They are "discouraged-by-default" on the main network (discouraged means not relayed to peers, and not included in blocks by the default mining code).
I think etotheipi is right: last I heard, Eligius was the only mining pool with different rules for non-standard transactions.
