Yes, a content producer that expected a) HTTP://www.IANA.org:80/assignments/relation/alternate to always be different from b) http://www.iana.org/assignments/relation/alternate would be stupid. But on the other hand, a content producer that expected a) and b) to always be treated the same would be ridiculous, too.
I agree completely, but as a content consumer I still need to know whether to use IRI::Compare or String::Compare when I do encounter some ridiculous feed that uses example (a). I'm hoping for a simple answer along the lines of "Use IRI:Compare", "Use String::Compare", or "The spec doesn't say, so you may use whatever you prefer".
Also, I would think the authors of the feedvalidator would probably want to know whether a feed that used example (a) should be considered invalid as well as ridiculous. In other words, does it deserve an error, or merely a warning?
