> By all means add a lenient=False flag which can be turned to True to enable lenient parsing...
I don't think we should even allow this. The extra API surface area complicates the matter for all users, almost all of whom are never going to set the new flag to anything but the default. (Of those that do, how many wouldn't really have thought it through/mean it?) Folks wanting this can subclass URLValidator.
