So you could be angry at web scrapers, but not at RSS readers making badly formed requests every 5 minutes?

Making it painless is letting readers use the options available, supporting the commonly used standards and maybe fixing small problems (I'd probably space trim that URL for example). It doesn't mean supporting systems that are sending poorly formed or badly controlled requests, regardless of the impact it has on your tech stack.
