FWIW, I was for the "Vision of XML", but realistically, the "real world" and the "Vision of XML" clash like peanut butter and sardines. We try to inform our users of invalid feeds, in the hopes that one of those users may know the feed owner, and help them to see the light and truth that is the "Vision of XML". Fact is, most people just don't care... I will stand up and say I am pro-Pilgrim, and can also say that is the only pragmatic way to deal with “the real world”.

I must say, though, that I'm all for compliance with Postel's Law [even though I'm personally waiting for someone to digg this entry and bring out all the "I hate Mark Pilgrim, he's a fucktard who closed his Weblog and shits on Apple's RSS efforts" zombies.
